Hello my music friends in Afri-tunes community, I hope we're all doing great... it's another time to share with one another a beautiful entry, and so for me I'll be sharing with you a hymn titled Jesu ni balogun oko a Yoruba hymn, in English translation it means Jesus is the captain of the ship have known this song for awhile now but seeing the ministration of Tee Worship on YouTube few months back I fell in love with how he sang the hymn, it was as if have not heard it before, he gave the song a different feeling which I love.
Jesus is the captain of the ship hence, we should not be afraid of anything at all, because with Him there's no casualty, no loss, no untimely death, no impossibilities, with Him all things are possible and we have an everlasting joy. This song arouse my confidence in Christ alot, that no matter the strength of the storm, God is always with me and will stir my ship to safety, this is my confidence and whenever I remember this song joy feels my heart or whenever am going through a difficult time, this is one of the many songs I sing that renew my hope and strengthen my faith.
The hymn has many verse but I picked the first verse because of time constraint, I hope you enjoy the song with me.
