MUSIC: E Lu Agogo – Jingle Bells | @tosinoyelakin
Christmas is that time of the year when we celebrate our King Jesus who was born to release us from the bondage of sin and death. It is also a great opportunity to share the gospel.
Tosin says, “I see everyday that I am given as an opportunity to share the gospel, and no better time than this festive period when people’s spirits are generally high and there’s joy of the season in the atmosphere. I believe their hearts will be more receptive to hearing the gospel in a Christmas song. “
E Lu Agogo (Jingle Bells) is a beautiful, happy indigenous song based mostly on Isaiah 9: 6-7, done in Yoruba and English languages. Written by Tosin Oyelakin and Anuolu Oyedele. Produced by Ebenezer Iriemi
