Mali Music

Mali Music is my all-time favorite artist. This is a big deal since I am not so keen on having favorites. I have to be honest though, when I first heard him, I really didn’t like it. The sound was so different. My sister played his one song, “Broken Spirit” so much until it got in my head. Then, I began to listen to the lyrics, realized that there was this huge message behind his sound. I started off with about three of his songs, Broken Spirit, Higher, and All I have to give. Then my eyes were open to how profound his lyrics were and even his melody was different from anything I’ve ever heard. I fell in love with his sound. His runs, his background music, the words were all put together in a way that was just right. It helped bring me closer to God and got me through some rough times. Currently, I love listening to his song, Heart’s song. I didn’t think much of it at first but now I see how he made a soft, sweet song have such a hard and deep meaning. Here are the lyrics:

This heart of mine is a perpetual cry

Lifting up and magnifying at Adonai

I try to understand the language from within but it’s beyond words

And Every time I hear it something stirs within my soul

Lord my heart longs

To worship all the day long

Your presence is where my heart belongs

It’s beyond words

My heart’s song

This soul of mine is burning fire

Burning with passion and desire for the messiah

Bubbling deep down in my soul

Is a worship out of control

Oh Lord, I surrender to thee,

Holy, holy, holy

That’s what the angels sing

God almighty

You delivered me

From the snares of the enemy

Blessed trinity
