Afri-Tunes week 44 - E no dey slumber (cover) by @jessicaossom

E no dey slumber is a typical high life gospel song release in the year 2017. This song was composed by Ibitayao Jeje.

The first time I heard this song was the period I was asked to score and lead the song in my choir group.

If I had continued listening to the song after it was present during one of our Sunday services, there a good chances that I would have dealt with the part that were a bit challenging for me.

The artist is a very good singer, and if you listen to the original song, you would hear that the last was enjoying her self while she sang. I think that it is one of the things we should always enjoy when we sing.

If you can't feel the music you're producing, how then do you expect your listeners to?

The inspiration of this song certainly came from Psalms 121:4-5.

In times like this where insecurity is at it peak, even as we try to be alert and watchful, we still have that assurance that the God of Israel who never sleeps not slumber will always be there watching us.

Even those moments we find ourselves in difficult situations and the devil try to whisper lies to us, we can always strengthen our faith with God's word.

That's why it is written somewhere in the scriptures that every we go through as believers who loves God, they are all working together for our good.

God doesn't sleep not slumber, e knows our end from the beginning, so all we need to do is trust him more and oray for the grace to continually be in alignment with his will for us.
