Hello everyone I welcome you all to afritune week 205
I am favourstrings and today I bring to you all this amazing song cover by Nathaniel bassy with the song title imela.
I'm so grateful for the song "Emela" by Nathaniel Bassey! 🙏 That song is a heartfelt expression of gratitude to God, and it speaks directly to my soul. "Emela" means "Thank You, Lord" in Igbo, and it's a beautiful reminder to thank God for all He has done for me.
I remember the first time I heard this song, I was overwhelmed with emotion. The lyrics "Emela, emela, emela, Jehovah, emela" ("Thank You, thank You, thank You, Jehovah, thank You") resonated deep within me, and I felt a surge of gratitude in my heart. Nathaniel Bassey's voice is so anointed, and he brings a sense of reverence and worship to the song.
I want to share my cover of "Emela" with the #afritunes community because I believe it's a powerful way to express our gratitude to God. In a world filled with challenges and uncertainties, it's easy to focus on what's lacking, but this song reminds us to thank God for all the blessings we have. I'd love to inspire others to cultivate a heart of gratitude and worship, and to share the joy of thanking God in every season.
Sharing this song is also a way for me to connect with others who love God and music, and to be part of a community that uplifts and inspires each other. I'm excited to share my rendition of "Emela" and to hear how God has used this song in others' lives. 🎤
As I'd prepare to perform, I'd pray that God uses my voice to touch hearts and bring people closer to Him. I'd want my cover of "Emela" to be a declaration of God's goodness, a reminder that He's worthy of all praise and thanks. 🙌
Song 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 your Yourself
I have come to sing this song out in praise
Imela, Imela
Okaka, Onyekeruwa (Onyekeruwa)
Imela, Imela
Eze mo
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
Imela (imela) Imela
Yeah, yeah
Okaka, Onyekeruwa
(Onyekeruwa)
Imela (Imela Papa), Imela
Eze mo
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 mo
Eze mo (We worship You, Lord)
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
We worship You, Lord
Hallelujah
