Every now and then, you come across songs that make you pause, ponder and reflect.

That's what One Experience of You did for me.

Sure, it's not a gbao gbao, scatter dis place, shake bodi for Jesus kind of song.

No, this is clearly a worship song.

But that's not the only reason I'm sharing this here.

MUSIC: Glowreeyah Braimah - Miracle Worker Featuring Nathaniel Bassey

I first heard this song about a week ago and since then I have been singing it regularly.  The beauty of this song is its simplicity.  It's the type of song you can sing to God during your quiet time and "every other" time.

In Glowreeyah (Gloria)'s words, "some songs are written and then some songs are given." I guess by now, you must have figured out that this song was given.  Even more touching is the story behind the song, courtesy of DaKingdomXploit:

Diya // ReverbNation

Remember the trip to ReverbNation I made last week? Well, Diya was one of the new artistes I discovered.  I got really excited about her for many reasons, but especially these two: 

(1) She is a woman (Yes, I get excited when I discover female Nigerian gospel artistes)

(2) She is based in Sokoto (according to her ReverbNation profile), which in case you did not know is in Northwestern Nigeria.  How often do you come across gospel artistes based in the Northwest? In my case, rarely.  Let's just say I won't forget Diya in a hurry.  :-)

And neither will you after listening to "Can't have enough." It's a high-powered contemporary praise and worship song (what a mouthful!), rendered mostly in English, but beautifully garnished with Hausa in just the right places. By the way, if you know the translation to that part of the lyrics, please share.

Okay, I will stop yarning and let you listen to the song. You're welcome.
