Nigerian Pentecostal space has amazing musicians and minstrels. God has blessed our people. I just want to beg you in the name of Jesus that we both serve to reverse this current trend that is increasing. Please stretch yourself and write theologically robust songs. Full songs that as people are singing it they can just fall before Jesus in thanksgiving and reverential fear and gratitude. This 5-line-songs trend is becoming too much before we think this is what Christian songs ministry is about. Write full hymns and bless us. Let us sing and cry because of how good Jesus is. Let us sing and just be thinking of our lives. Not every time... Vibes You get? God bless you guys and multiply your gifts. I wish I had you people's gifts for real. But as I don't have, let me stay in my lane.
@DrFeruke But this your recommendation will not win Grammy amd help capture the mountain of music sir.
@DrFeruke We actually need more song writers, you will be an excellent one.
@DrFeruke This is so true. If there’s one thing charismatic Christianity have contributed, it’s songs. Good songs. But recently it’s been more vibes and less of content.
@DrFeruke Truth is, there will always be diversity in terms of songwriting within the Christian space; from short chants to full blown hymn like songs. I think the diversity serves across the various slants and leanings within the body.
@DrFeruke I do agree we can write better songs lyrically and theologically. My advice would be to train folks within your influence that can contribute to the ecosystem while also sieving what works for you within the current pool. Bhet that those chant vibes will be excluded, I doubt.
@DrFeruke I am a gifted psalmist. I have challenged Nigerian worship leaders and gospel artists to write songs that are relevant in the universal body of Christ, not songs that are only relevant in your local space. They cannot come and chant in the white church I attend in the UK.
