HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY FATHER – CHIEF S.O. FERNANDEZ

We shall feast from the stories of this new celebrationย 

From the best of gourds rich with hints of oakย 

And the voices from the Elders that feed the nation,

through endless valleys and complex routes .

We shall kiss new rivers that have blessed our land .

from the moments that proclaim a brand new dawn 

and create new legacies upon the sand 

beneath the blessings of the rising sun 

We share the fruits from your humble road

And the living seeds that breathe through time 

you have been a blessing to our growing homes

The thought – the Love – has left us kind 

Tony Tokunbo Fernandezย

O.Phils โ€“ โ€œAye Ya Ya (Hallelujah)โ€ featuring Oni Timilehin Bless The Lord Album – A PRAISE ANTHEM FOR ALL GOSPEL LISTENERS

O.Phils โ€“ โ€œAye Ya Ya (Hallelujah)โ€ | Bless The Lord Album โ€œAye Ya Ya (Hallelujah)โ€ is a powerful worship, prayer, and praise anthem from O.Philsโ€™ Bless The Lord album.

This soul-stirring song encourages listeners to keep praising and worshiping Jesus, even in the midst of lifeโ€™s storms. With heartfelt chants and uplifting melodies, it reminds us that true strength comes from surrendering to Him.

The song builds into a moving vamp, calling on the divine names of Jesusโ€”Yeshua, Comforter, Redeemer, Great Healer, Sweet Jesusโ€”creating an atmosphere of deep reverence and faith. Aye Ya Ya (Hallelujah) is more than a song; itโ€™s a declaration of unwavering trust in Godโ€™s power and presence.
