Gospel singer Toluwanisings presents “Ona Iye,” a Yoruba worship song about the path that leads to life.
“Ona Iye” means “The Way of Life.” It is a title that points the listener straight to Jesus, who described Himself in John 14:6 as “the way, the truth, and the life.” In a world full of confusing roads, the song is a reminder that there is one way that leads to true life, and it is found in Christ.
The song is also a quiet call to examine the roads we are on: in our choices, our friendships, our work and our walk with God. Proverbs 3:5-6 promises that when we trust the Lord with all our heart and acknowledge Him in all our ways, He will make our paths straight. “Ona Iye” is a prayer that every step we take would lead us deeper into that life.
Psalm 16:11 carries the same picture: “You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence.” The song invites you to choose that path again, and to walk it with joy and confidence.
Toluwanisings sings mainly in Yoruba, bringing the heartfelt, prayerful style that Yoruba gospel listeners love. Other songs by Toluwanisings on iGospel include “Agbara Olorun”, “A Very Big God” and “Mo Mo Ore”.
At 4 minutes 54 seconds, “Ona Iye” is a good fit for personal devotion, family prayer time and church services. It is also a meaningful song to share with someone who is searching for direction, or anyone standing at a crossroads in life.
