Ijoba Orun is a mellow and soulful song from Lara George’s debut album, ‘Forever In My Heart’.
The song is rendered in Yoruba and is a passionate plea not to miss the ultimate reward of being a believer. It describes the world as a marketplace – transient and mundane – but heaven as an eternal home.
