▶️ Watch on 3Speak

Hello everyone is week 164 on Afri-Tune I am success978654. I welcome you all to my blog, my package greetings goes to the admin of this community for setting out such an amazing community to unite musicians and other talented and gifted people around the world, can’t forge to make mention of @ovey10 if it has not been him i wouldn’t have been a beneficiary of this great platform and family.

So today been 28th of April is actually a remarkable day for me a day I will
Never forget, I remember vividly on this same day 28th of April 2016 God saved me from the hands of assassins, who came to murder someone I was working for, and of course you know what it is when you are working as a Personal Assistant (P.A) to the victim you also is not safe.

To cut the long story short even though I was in the verge of been attacked also because I was there when they came for the attack but God came through, not only me he saved my boss as well, after a three shot of bullet on his head he still survived it, yea you heard right he still survived it.

I chose to sing this song IMELA by Nathaniel Bassey. Because I feel that’s the best song suit for my testimony, The tittle of the song IMELA meaning thank you lord I think is a good choice of song for me reflecting how many years ago God had saved me, if not where would I have been?

My story and testimony was my major inspiration behind this cover, because of course what shall I offer? I have nothing than my words of thanks because that’s all he needs from me.

I would like to also encourage everyone that is reading this right now always remember to appreciate God for his faithfulness and safety I tell you If you can think of the past and present you will know that it has been God all the way.

Even though I lost my voice due to yesterday service because I had to sing all through the meetings I still decided to drop this cover with the little voice I have left. Thank you all for watching God bless you.

Lyrics:

Verse 1)
When I think upon Your goodness
And Your faithfulness each day
I'm convinced it's not because I am worthy
To receive the kind of love that You give
But I'm grateful for Your mercy
And I'm grateful for Your grace
And because of how You've poured out your Yourself
I have come to sing this song out in praise

Chorus
Imela, Imela
Okaka, Onyekeruwa (Onyekeruwa)
Imela, Imela
Eze mo

(Verse 2)
Who am I to sing Your praises?
(Who am I to worship You, Lord)
Who am I to worship You? (yeah)
Its Your blood that makes the difference in me
(And made a way)
And made a way to enter into Your throne
I could not come near Your presence
(I could never sing Your song)
I could never sing Your song (yeah)
But the sacrifice on Calvary's tree
(Is the reason)
Is the reason I can cry out today

(Chorus)
Imela (imela) Imela
Yeah, yeah
Okaka, Onyekeruwa
