Tolu, God bless you!

B.B Love he jazziness of the entire song. Personally grew up with Yoruba hymns and in as much as I love the English language there's something very special about hymns being sung in Yoruba. Love and support this project! Way to go, Tolu!

lyrics

English:

I have found a friend in Jesus, He’s everything to me,
He’s the fairest of ten thousand to my soul;
The Lily of the Valley, in Him alone I see
All I need to cleanse and make me fully whole.
In sorrow He’s my comfort, in trouble He’s my stay;
He tells me every care on Him to roll.

Refrain

He’s the Lily of the Valley, the Bright and Morning Star,
He’s the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.

He all my grief has taken, and all my sorrows borne;
In temptation He’s my strong and mighty tower;
I have all for Him forsaken, and all my idols torn
From my heart and now He keeps me by His power.
Though all the world forsake me, and Satan tempt me sore,
Through Jesus I shall safely reach the goal.

The reason why I do hymns? Because the 7 year-old and the 70 year-old alike will sing them. Additionally, they are sound doctrine and theology placed to anointed melodies that have stood the test of time! ... more
