I Recommend Jesus— Chidinma
The lyrics of I Recommend Jesus by Chidinma stress the need why everyone should have taste of Jesus in their lives: He is not only because He is our great hope and strong defense in a turbulent world, He is an unchanging God in a changing world.
Invariably, the central message in the song is that God is everything we need to live a complete, balanced life.
Popsi— Minister GUC
Popsi is another worthy mention in this list of latest Nigerian gospel songs. In the soong, Minister GUC speaks highly of God while showcasing the intimate relationship that exists between them. The title “Popsi” is an informal way of referring to father in pidgin. The lyrics also have different aspects showing evidence of their enviable relationship.
Obviously, one must have established a smooth relationship with God before one can be confident about Him in this manner. Though it seems more of an interaction between father and son, Popsi by Miniister GUC is a powerful worship song that will melt your heart.
