“Song Of My Father (Live)” by Onome Ovwori ft. David Nkennor
At its heart, the song nurtures faith and hope by declaring, “Your love has never failed me; Your goodness goes before me; You will satisfy me more and more.” This triumphant assurance mirrors the promise in 1 Corinthians 13:8: “Love never fails”. When we meditate on God’s unfailing love, our confidence in His faithfulness grows. Likewise, Psalm 23:6 reminds us, “Your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life”. Singing these lines daily shifts our focus from circumstances to the constancy of God’s character, cultivating hope that whatever challenges we face, He accompanies and sustains us.

Beyond stirring hope, the lyrics foster faithfulness and spiritual growth. Declaring “This is for You only, for You – all that You do, so much more,” the song calls us to single‑hearted devotion. Jesus taught, “Seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you” (Matt. 6:33). As we make worship the primary aim of our lives, spiritual disciplines such as prayer, Scripture reading, and service naturally follow. The refrain “My life I’ll live for You in adoration” encourages believers to translate inner devotion into outward acts of faithfulness, thereby deepening their relationship with Christ and nurturing growth in Christlikeness.

Worship and personal encounter with the Father shine through the bridge: “Our Father in heaven above, Who’s seated on the throne, He reigns forever more; Now we sing.” Echoing Jesus’ model prayer – “Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy” (Matt. 6:9) – the song reminds us that worship is both personal and communal. As we declare His sovereignty (“He reigns forever”), we align our attitudes with heavenly realities. In daily devotion, this acknowledgment invites us into a posture of humility and awe, recognizing that the majestic King cares for our deepest needs and hears our every cry.
