Season greetings to the Vibes Web3 Music Competition. Firstly, I want to use this opportunity to thank everyone in the community who said words of prayers, wished me congratulations, and sent me gifts on my traditional wedding day and registry wedding. I recently got traditionally and legally married - sealed! - and I just want to thank the community for the love.

We already know that we are in the festive season, eh, the holiday period, and the theme for this week in the Vibes community is songs related to the festive season, holiday season. And I was given a song to score in my church for our carol, and the title of the song is 'Oh Holy Night' by CeCe Winans. So I decided to go to the studio and record my cover of the song for the Vibes community.

The plan was to sing this song with my choir in church for the Christmas carol, but while going to the studio, it wasn't really possible to take my church choir with me. So what I did was to record myself singing the backup, the backing track of the song, from the second verse to the end of the song, where there were background vocals. So I did the background vocals, and then I sang the lead to make it complete.

The song was given to me by the choir coordinator in my church to score, so I could lead the choir in singing it during the carol service. I was meant to be the lead singer, with the choir joining in on the background vocals. Since I knew I wouldn't be able to take my choir members to the studio with me, I decided to record the background vocals myself. I did the background vocals, which were uniform throughout, not harmonized. After completing multiple takes of the background vocals, I then sang the lead parts. This is the final outcome, and I hope everyone enjoys listening to it.

Oh Holy Night - Lyrics

O holy night, the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth
Long lay the world, in sin and error pining
Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth
A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn

Fall on your knees
O hear the angel voices
O night divine
O night when Christ was born
Led by the light of Faith serenely beaming
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming
Here come the wise men from Orient land
The King of Kings lay thus in lowly manger;
In all our trials born to be our friend

He knows our need, to our weakness is no stranger
Behold your King! Before Him lowly bend!
Behold your King, Before Him lowly bend!

Truly He taught us to love one another
His law is love and His gospel is peace
Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother
And in His name all oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we
Let all within us praise His holy name

Christ is the Lord
O praise His name forever
His power and glory evermore proclaim
