Gospel music minister Arinola Ajagba is out with a new song to bless lives as we enter into the second half of 2021.
Speaking about the inspiration behind the song, she said, “Looking at my life in totality as well as His mighty acts in my life, family and christian experience, I have no choice than to praise Him.”
“You see, God saved me, He is blessing me and has never allowed me and my family to see shame, He has continued to keep us healthy and His joy in our lives has been endless. It gives me a great joy and fulfilment to see my songs reaching out and blessing lives. So, God has been good to me and my family.”
“This song therefore, expresses my deepest worship and gratitude to God regarding His testimonies and mighty acts in my life and family. So, from the depth of my heart, GOD DESERVES MY PRAISE.
Irrespective of what we are going through, God alone deserves our praise and we still have so much to praise Him for.
