Prinx Emmanuel crosses languages in “Oh Mon Âme,” a song that calls the soul to bless God.
“Oh mon âme” is French for “Oh my soul,” and the song's full title, “Oh My Soul Bless the Eternal God,” echoes Psalm 103:1: “Praise the Lord, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name.” The French touch reflects the love many Nigerian gospel artists have for the francophone worship sound of Central and West Africa.
Psalm 103 goes on to list the reasons for praise: God forgives, heals, redeems and crowns us with love and compassion. The song invites listeners to stop and remember those benefits.
Sometimes the hardest person to convince to worship is ourselves. In Psalm 103, David speaks to his own soul and tells it to praise the Lord. When feelings are low, we can do the same: remind our souls of who God is and what He has done. Use this song as that reminder, and count your blessings one by one. A prayer for today: Lord, I tell my soul to bless You. I will not forget all Your benefits: Your forgiveness, healing and love. Amen.
