Hello everyone in Afritunes community. Good morning to you all. It's so nice and wonderful to hear from you guys and see you all as well as your entries. I trust y'all are doing pretty good.
For this week, I will be doing a Cover of the song Imela by Nathaniel Bassey. It's one of his amazing songs which asides from listening to it, the songs he sings has ways of blessing my heart and spirit.
Nathaniel Bassey is a wonderful artist. There are numerous songs of his that are blessings to people and I am one of the persons. My inspiration comes from how good God has been to me and my family. He has been faithful and he that he will continue to be now and forever more.
Imela is an Igbo word and if I'm not mistaken, it means Thank you in English and Sosongo in my dialect. I'm sure it means something in Yoruba, Hausa and the rest. You could drop yours in the comment section. I would really love to learn and I'm sure others would do same.
So, my dear sistrens and brothers, God has been faithful šÆ I can't thank him enough for all he has done and for all he will continue doing.
Below š are the lyrics of the song
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

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
