Music minister, Ijeoma Ozoemena’s long awaited debut single “What Shall I Give To You Lord” is out now. The thanksgiving single geared towards inspiring gratitude and giving of thanks was produced by multi-award winning producer, Sunny Pee.
In her words: “The song was birthed out of the church choir quest for the annual thanksgiving song to minister in the church. Out of anxiety (as the Choir/Music Director) I asked God (after one of the choir rehearsals) for a thanksgiving song. Then, God gave me this song on a Saturday morning (final choir rehearsal day: same week I did ask Him for a song to sing) and we’re to minister it the following day being on Sunday. I then taught the song, we rehearsed it together and then ministered it on Sunday in church.
