Gospel singer Bisimanuel gives God the glory for His mercy in “Aanu Ni,” a heartfelt Yoruba worship song.
“Aanu ni” means “it is mercy.” It is a humble confession that every good thing in our lives, from the breath in our lungs to the doors God has opened, is not the reward of our own effort but the result of God's mercy. Many believers say these words when they look back over their journey and realise how far God has brought them.
The Bible says the same. Romans 9:16 explains that it does not depend on human desire or effort, but on God's mercy. Lamentations 3:22-23 reminds us that because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail and are new every morning. And Titus 3:5 says God saved us not because of righteous things we had done, but because of His mercy.
Songs like this keep our hearts grateful and humble. They remind us that we did not get here by our own strength, and they turn our testimonies into praise.
At 3 minutes 42 seconds, “Aanu Ni” is a good song for thanksgiving services, birthdays, anniversaries and the end of a year, when we count our blessings. It is also a meaningful WhatsApp Status on a day you want to testify about God's goodness.
Take a moment as you listen to remember three things God has done for you that you could never have done for yourself, and thank Him for each one.
A prayer for today: Lord, everything I have is by Your mercy. Thank You for carrying me this far. Keep me humble and grateful all my days. Amen.
