AFRI-TUNES WEEK 17: Akamdinelu By Mercy Chinwo (Cover) By niglys

Hello Afri-tunes community! I hail una oo!
I'm glad I discovered such an amazing community like this and also elated that I'll be doing my entry for the first time here☺️

I'll be presenting one of my favorite song by my best Nigerian gospel artist "Mercy Chinwo"

The song title "Akamdinelu" is an Igbo word which means "My hands are up" This song is a thanksgiving song to God for all the good he has done for us. I enjoy listening to this song especially in early morning hours when I observe my quiet time. This song also reminds me of how faithful God has been to me despite my unfaithfulness. Really, my hands are up for God because without him I'll be nowhere today.
