Artist bio

Trinidadian born Bj’orn Pierre began his career in music with a Casio synthesizer and a wild imagination. Against this humble backdrop, he nurtured his God-given talent by writing songs and creating melodies. This childhood hobby has now blossomed into a lifestyle of ministering the love of God to others, through music. He has been writing songs for the past 15 years. After releasing his debut single “Angels Sing” in 2014, Bj’orn then went on to release several other singles such as “Better” (2015), “Vessel” (2018), “Profit” (2019), “No Bed of Roses” (2019), and “No Grudge” (2019). More than just gospel songs, his songs are sermons in music. He maintains that his aim is not to be a gospel star, but rather to do the will of his heavenly Father, before his life on earth comes to an end. Besides singing, Bj'orn works behind the scenes producing and writing for many young upcoming artists. He believes that persons with the gift of music should be given a chance to utilize their talent to bless others. For every song he either writes or produces, he gives all the credit to God for using him as His instrument.

Artist Statement

This video portrays a bus carrying passengers to their varying destinations. Two of the passengers on the bus are shown struggling with some typical issues of life, the lady needing a mortgage, and the boy not having enough money to pay for his trip.
There is one other passenger who is singing to the top of his lungs, which can be seen as an annoyance to some but it also encourages a few passengers.

The idea behind this is much deeper than it may appear. The bus can be seen as the journey of life, and the passengers represent us human beings. It is true that life can be challenging and extremely trying at times, but we Christians should be like the boy singing on the bus. Despite how depressing the journey might seem, sing your song of the goodness of Jesus Christ aloud and maybe you just might encourage someone along the way.

How it fits into contest

Ephesians 6:10-20 starts of by encouraging us to be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Without having faith in God and in His power we will be unable to stand against the spiritual powers that are working against us daily, and these attacks come in the form of the daily challenges of life.

This song is an encouragement to anyone facing life's challenges to be reminded that although this life can be hard, we are assured that by holding on to God and putting on His entire armour, we will be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

Transcript / Lyrics

Intro
Bus Conductor: going up?
Woman on cell phone: Yes Akeda that's what I'm telling you...
Woman on cell phone: It's a lot of pressure this man is putting us under...
Woman on cell phone: I feel the landlord wants to raise our rent
Woman on cell phone: I'm fed up, I can't take no more of this
Woman on cell phone: Right now I'm going by the bank. It's about...
Woman on cell phone: 2 or 3 years Mark and I have been trying to get this mortgage
Woman on cell phone: Just pray for me, please
Woman on cell phone: I don't know why life has to be so hard
Bus Driver (speaking to conductor): Hey put on that song

Song Starts
VERSE 1:
could give all you got
But life never gives change
pray all you want
the answer is still wait
starting to doubt
when life start to frustrate
but wait
don’t lose your faith

times when you're starting to lose patience
remember the hard days when
God saw you through
he was there from the start

so although they're trying to break you
it’s father God who make you
so just keep this song in your heart

CHORUS:
life can be hard
so hard, so hard
it’s no bed of roses, but hold on to God
there is beauty in your scars
It's no bed of roses, but hold on to God
Your foundation's steady and not shaking
You're bent but not breaking
your dark clouds will all soon be gone
Life is hard
So hard, so hard
But hold on to God

VERSE 2:
He never promised you an easy road
there are trials you must face
Never promised that the weapons wouldn’t form
but all of them would fail
there’ll be stumbling blocks to break u down
while running in this race
but all your broken pieces
God could put it back in place

times when you're crying on your knees
saying father help me please
put an angel over me to guide my way
There’ll be times you feel like giving up
but know that God is big enough
He's a listening ear to every prayer you pray

CHORUS:
life can be hard
so hard, so hard
it’s no bed of roses, but hold on to God
there is beauty in your scars
It's no bed of roses, but hold on to God
Your foundation's steady and not shaking
You're bent but not breaking
your dark clouds will all soon be gone
Life is hard
So hard, so hard
But hold on to God
