Gospel singer Toluwanisings leads an extended time of Yoruba worship in “Olorun Aper'ami.”
“Olorun” is the Yoruba word for God, and the whole song is centred on Him. At 12 minutes 11 seconds, it is one of the longest songs by Toluwanisings on iGospel, made for staying in God's presence rather than passing through it.
Extended worship also creates space for the Holy Spirit to speak. When we are not in a hurry, we listen better. Many believers keep a notebook beside them during long worship songs to write down a Bible verse, a prayer or a thought that comes to mind. Try it with this song, and come back to your notes later in the week.
Long worship songs like this one have a special place in Nigerian churches and homes. They give room to pray, to sing along, to sit quietly and to let worship slowly settle the heart. Many people use them for early-morning prayer, night vigils, fasting seasons or long drives, when there is time to listen from start to finish.
If you are new to extended worship, try this: play the song in a quiet place, close your eyes, and let each repeated line become your own prayer to God. You may find that the song carries you into a deeper place of worship than a short track could.
Toluwanisings sings mainly in Yoruba, with the warmth and depth Yoruba worship is known for. Also on iGospel: “Ona Iye”, “Agbara Olorun” and “A Very Big God”.
“Olorun Aper'ami” is a good fit for personal worship, prayer meetings and church services, and a lovely song to share with anyone who loves deep Yoruba worship.
