Afritunes week 64 ~ A cover song of Tobechukwu by Princessbusayo.

Hello, Afritunes community! This would be my first time singing in this community and it's my pleasure to join you guys. A year ago, I have been trying to show my face here but finally, I am here and hope to keep bringing more of our Nigerian songs.

It's week 64 and with me here is a common song that was released not quite long and it has been everywhere because of how interesting and heavenly it is. Two Nigerian artists I enjoyed listening to their songs are Nathaniel Bassey and Mercy Chinwo, they both did an amazing song titled, "TOBECHUKWU" and it's the one I brought here and I did a cover of it.

Tobechukwu is an Igbo word which translates as "Praise God" or "Start praising God". The first line of the lyrics says, "Tobechukwu, Tobechukwu, Tobechukwu, He has done it for me". The first time I listened to this song on Spotify, I couldn't stop listening because of how melodious it sounds and also, my love for Gospel songs is a great one. I realized singing these songs brings one closer to God especially when you are focused on it without any distraction.

This song is a channel through which you start to praise God for all He has done for you. I have never stopped being grateful to God for all He has done for my family and me. Sometimes, when I just sit and start thinking of how life was in the past, compared to now, the only thing I see is GRACE. Yes, with God's grace, He is ready to take us to levels we do not deserve but for His unending love towards us, we are here alive.

Another part of the lyrics says, "Even before I prayed, Jehovah Nissi answered me". The scripture says that we shouldn't make vain repetition because the Lord already knows what we need even before we ask anything. This is why I say that I do not know what to pray about or how to do it, but God has always shown up in many ways. He knows what we need at the right time and even when we do not remember to include those things in our prayer, and because we are closer and more faithful to Him, He will grant us what He knows is best for us.

This song is one of the best songs on my list and there is no day I don't sing it anywhere I go because I have cultivated the habit of praising God anywhere I am or wherever I may be because thinking of everything, He has been there for me. It's a beautiful song that encourages one to appreciate their maker and acknowledge that with what we own today, it is through the grace of God.
