THE JOURNEY
Writing ‘Deep’ was a journey of thoughts, questions, and ecstatic discovery of God’s love, Yemi explained.
About two years ago, I was in deep thoughts and had many questions. Asking these questions loudly or in company of Christians could be construed as being ungrateful or doubtful… Yemi continues. But they were questions about my call, and I secretly demanded answers from God. Quite frankly, I was ready to give-up.
Round about this time, I reluctantly attended a mid-week bible study session and the topic being discussed was ‘Love’.
In this session, the teacher taught on Ephesians 3:17-19 especially on verse 18 where she began to explain what the dimensions of God’s love looked like. My love language is love in its purest form, so I was super attentive and captivated at the same time. It was as though it was my first-time hearing about love, true and pure.
This truly captivated my heart and suddenly I felt a flood of light, love and ecstasy towards God. I really couldn’t explain it. As I returned home that night, I decided to read and research into how far or deep God’s love was. This is when I started writing ‘Deep’.
The chorus is partly in Yemi’s local dialect (Yoruba). It’s meaning is rooted in a promise God gave Yemi when his daughter was born. The promise of unconditional love is un-imaginable for most humans. To grasp this true – unaltered and constant love can only be divine… Yemi concludes.
