I really astonished and also anxious to read all this comments and harsh words. Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, if this message (song) is for us, let us repent and return to the Lord’s grace, if not ,let us pray for the body of Christ (Church) to clean her clothes with His blood and ready to receive the Bridegroom (Jesus Christ). I didn’t see any point to make big deal out of this song, I like constrictive and edifying discussions but here I didn’t see that. Let us fear God and control our emotion when write comments and think twice before you start writing. Remember this word on James 3:6 “The tongue is a fire, a world of evil. Placed among the parts of our bodies, the tongue contaminates the whole body and sets on fire the course of life, and is itself set on fire by hell.” ISB 2008
Also remember Christianity is a life of Love, humbleness, meekness, sacrifice and Holiness. If you follow Jesus and be like him! Speak the truth and truth sets free!
I grew up in Ethiopian Church back home and know almost all ministers, Pastors and Singers. We are really blessed with many God fearing Ministers and need to thank God for these Committed and disciplined servant of Christ. They looked ahead their rewards from the Lord as Moses did. Hebrews 11:26 “He regarded disgrace for the sake of Christ as of greater value than the treasures of Egypt, because he was looking ahead to his reward “NIV 1984
And also we know some “ministers” who are addicted to power, money and fame, I think everybody knows them; we are embarrassed by their deeds on the body of Christ. Even any non believer Ethiopian who lives at home or abroad recognizes what the contemporary Ethiopian Evangelical Church problem is, our name is on the mass media. Most of our Church minister’s quarrel is in the court, just go and goggle it you can get the news about the Ethiopian Pastors and elders politics. Here (USA) in many states these problems happened and the city police interfered and some of the cases are still in courts. In Ethiopia the same things happened in many Churches, just for the sake of power, money or fame. This is fact!!!! Why we deny the problems and pretend. I am not talking about this song or the others; I am taking about the facts that we are facing day to day life in our churches.
You can’t challenge or tell the right way of Christian life for any Pastor, Choir or church member about his or her personal Christian life, if you try to do so they label you as fanatic, holiness preacher or old fashion Christian and corner you. Really I am lamenting to the Lord, Holy Spirit is grieved by many self appointed Pastors, Prophets, solo singers and “Apostles”. Let us pray for these Ministers, I love them and don’t want to miss them in God’s kingdom and some of them start with genuine motive to serve the Lord but failed to see the right way in between.
In my understanding, the real solution is let us go back to the word of God (read and meditate daily) , have daily devotion time personally with our Lord and see his gracious face , ask Holy Sprite to fill us daily and give us strength and revelation for our life destiny and shine the power of resurrection in our life and light the darkness .Let us show Jesus everywhere and share the gospel with our neighbors.

Dere, my soul have been searched by your songs since my childhood. You sung about every aspect of life. When you released this particular album, my lovely dad was seriously sick and was in a comma, I listened to “Yesew Astamami(Truck #8″). Unfortunately he passed after few weeks and again there was your song “Teleytew Kegna(Truck #4)” so I can cope with my sadness. You are absolutely right, No body can comfort me except the holly ghost.
Stay Blessed Dr. Dere!
dear readers I don’t understand about all of this comments about who liked what song. who cares. if these songs suppose to be worship or to lift up the name of Jessus, remember it is all about him. why are you all wasting time commenting about lyrx about stering human emotions. well, for you all out there who seeks gratification of songs to feel good, you have got it. but, it was suppose to be to bless, worship, adore, thanksgiving and gratitude to our father in heaven, not for pleasure, politics of man. may god open your eyes and give you sight to see, ear to hear. Brother derege: use your god giving talent to reach the people in bondage thru the gospel. our king and Lord is coming back soon. preach the word of god. that is all this dying generation needs. the word of god, the good news that sent the captive free, that wipes tears from the face of his children, the good news that says I love you. that is what you should be preaching. the word of God is sufficient enough nothing else. stope all this. it makes our father in heaven very sad. God bless you.
