Hello Gorgeous people, welcome to the Afritunes community Contest. It's week 68 and I'm glad to be back again with you today, sharing our feelings and connecting with others through African Music.

It has been a long long week and the end of the month by tomorrow, what are we grateful for?. I'm grateful for the blessings I've received so far, I'm grateful for life, I'm grateful for the blessings not yet seen, I'm grateful for the conviction I have of all my answered prayers.

For all these and many more blessings I can't even mention, my choice of song this week is Imela by Nathaniel Bassey. I stumbled on this piano version of the song and I would love to bless your hearts with It.

Imela is the igbo way or dialect of saying Thank you. So here am I telling God Thank you, from the depths of my Heart, Thank you, for the victories you've won for me thank you.

Enjoy this piece!!!!!!

Lyrics

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 yourself
I have come to sing this song out in praise
Onyedikagi? Ekene diri gi

Imela (Oh), Imela
Okaka, Onyekeruwa (Onyekeruwa)
Imela, Imela (Eh!)
Eze m Oh

(Who am I lord?)
Who am I to sing your praises?
Who am I to worship you lord?
Who am I to worship you? (Yeh)
It′s your blood that makes the difference in me (And made a way)
And made a way to enter into your throne (Into your throne)
I could not come near your presence
(I could never sing your song Lord)
I could never sing your song
But the sacrifice on Calvary′s tree (Is the reason)
Is the reason I can cry out today

Imela (Imela), Imela (Yea, yea)
Okaka, Onyekeruwa (Onyekeruwa)
Imela (Imela Papa), Imela (Imela Chineke m Oh)
Eze m Oh (You're my Lord and King and I bless Your name)

Imela, Imela
Okaka (Okaka), Onyekeruwa (Onyekeruwa, Onyekeruwa)
Imela (Thank you Jesus), Imela (Thank You Lord)
Eze m Oh, Eze m Oh (We worship You Lord)

Hallelujah, hallelujah

Onyedikagi? Ekene diri gi
Onye ne mema (Onye ne mema)
Onyedikagi? Ekene diri gi
Onye nagworia

Onyedikagi? Ekene diri gi
Onye ne mema (There is no one like You)
Onyedikagi? Ekene diri gi (My God, my Lord)
Onye nagworia (Onye nagworia)

Onyedikagi? Ekene diri gi
Onye ne mema (We worship You Lord)
Onyedikagi? Ekene diri gi
Onye nagworia (Nobody like You Lord)

Onyedikagi? Ekene diri gi
Onye ne mema (Jesus we exalt You)
Onyedikagi? Ekene diri gi
Onye nagworia (We thank You Omega)

Onyedikagi? Ekene diri gi (We lift Your name higher)
Onye ne mema (We bless You Omega)
Onyedikagi? Ekene diri gi (There′s nobody like You Lord)
Onye nagworia

Imela, Imela
