▶️ Watch on 3Speak

Hello afri-tunes,I welcome everyone to another week of afri-tunes,week 55, where we celebrate African musicians and their songs .

It's another week and I will be singing a song a specifically chose, a song by Gbenga Akinfenwa titled in yoruba ''Di mimu'' , which means ''Hold me''.

This song is a song of faith in God, our journey in God is everlasting on earth,but to walk this journey successful and peacefully we need God's intervention.

Only Him can hold and protect us from dark forces,we have to give our life and dedicate ourselves to Him.

I chose this song because of my hunger and thirst for Him, His mercy and grace is what I need to stand on faith.
