Hossanna -Benjamin

Yeeeap! So My  good friend   Benjamin , has just dropped his very first single Hossanah!!! An extremely refreshing and uplifting tune!

Benjamin (Full names are Benjamin Megbalewon Oluwambe) is the 5th of 7 children , from Ilaje in Ondo state and a trained pharmacist.

He started singing officially about 5 years ago and started  writing songs about a year later.  Benjamin's greatest influences musically include notable artists  such as Smokie Norful,  Karen Clark Sheard and Kim-Burrell!!  Back home,  he especially recognises the input of T-Sway and Godson Mela who tutored him in his early choir days.

Now  years down the line, Benjamin is out with a sincerely refreshing sound  in Hossannah! 

Hossanah is a simple worship song with an instaneous melody that focuses on exalting  God irrespective of any confusion or darkness we might be facing.

Produced by Mind Maestro (Anu Ojo), mastered by Cheqwas, and written few years ago,  Hossanah opens with soothing, reflective instrumentation which sets the tone for his trained vocals to glide on, singing 'Hossannah in the highest' With crisp backup vocals, amazing Instrumentation and clear cut musical techniques ,the song climaxes with the declaration 'Let Our King Be Lifted 

High!'

Speaking on the song,  He says he desires that everyone listening would get to the place where neither confusion nor giving up  is an option, regardless of what they are going through.  He remembers vividly, while recording,  the reassurance that no man can take the glory for what God is about to do!

So there you have it Hossanah!!  The sound of freedom. Let our King be Lifted High! Do listen and get faith boosted.

While we enjoy this,  Benjamin promises a follow up single some time next year and an album in 2018! Amazing!

Give You Praise- Chris Agape

Hi there! My name is Chris Agape I am a lover of God, people and music. I’m an indigene of Benue state Nigeria and currently in my penultimate year at the University of Lagos.  For as long as I can remember I’ve always loved singing and music, since I was a kid. I joined my first choir at the age of ten and have been in various groups since then.  I’ve also been writing and composing songs for a while now.

My greatest influences musically are Bethel music (I Love Amanda Cook!), Jesus Culture and Hillsong! Other major players are Marvin Sapp, Nathaniel Bassey and more recently Travis Greene. These guys make music that resonates in my heart.

Music for me is an integral   part of my fellowship with God and a conduit for sharing that with people. Music is the wings upon which we can express our deepest desires and thoughts out to God and also to our world, it’s from this place I love to write my songs and Give You Praise was no different.

Give You Praise is a simple worship song, of the rock genre. It seeks to draw everyone to that place of freedom by bringing forth praise irrespective of our current situations. It aims at bringing you to that point where you can lift your praise relentlessly and experience the Hand of God while doing so.

Produced by Qase Beats, the song opens mildly with soft vocals saying “give you praise with my hands Lifted high unto you’. There’s such a beautiful drop  that lets you reflect on who God is at the verse, from where it gradually builds up in intensity, climaxing at the vamp!

The inspiration for this song came, about 3 years ago, when I was jostling through a lot of pressure academically, financially and from home. I remember while working on some bracelets, I just started singing ‘Give You praise, Give you praise with my hands lifted high unto you”, and few moments later as I repeated the tune, I started singing ‘’ let me praise you now…” And With those words the song was birthed and so was freedom from all the pressure around me.

It is my desire for everyone who listens to this that you find freedom by lifting up your praise! As my pastor puts it, you can never go wrong with praise. Irrespective of the season we find ourselves, the best time to bring forth praise is now, not when things are better or worse. I pray this song will be a tool that helps you experience this freedom , the refreshing that comes when we magnify our God above every other thing.

Let me praise you now, I won’t wait no more, all my heart would shout you’re the one I adore!

Feel   free to contact me through any of the platforms below; I would love to hear from you!

#GiveYouPraise#August 30#Waitforit#Haa..



Sincerity.
Truth.
Brokenness.
These are the things
You desire
The things
That bring you delight
A vulnerability
That doesn't expire
Humility
That draws in your light


May the lifting
Of my hands
Be like the evening sacrifice
The words
On my lips
Be the mirror image
Of my heart
The waving
Of my hands
Be the motions
Of my truest desire
The movement
Of my steps
A representation
Of my passion.

To bring you praise
This is all
I seek to do

Not for a reward 

Or accolade
Or to be captured
By men
But for the sake
Of your pleasure
The desire
To make you smile
For the renown
Of your glory
For the enthronement
Of the Most High


For in that moment
Do i find
The greatest contentment
There does all
My freedom lie
There is No greater
Calling or purpose
Than to bring you
Praise till I die.

Give you praise
Give you praise 
This is all I seek to do.


Give You Praise by Chris Agape , drops on the 30th of August. Watch this space!!

#Give You Praise # August 30th #Waitforit.



There is a stirring
A clarion call
A new generation
Is rising
Like nothing
Ever seen before


A people who stand
With one purpose
With one agenda
To bring glory
To the king of Kings
To honour
The one
Who reigns forever

This is the generation
That seeks your face
That brings glory
To your name
Your praise
Is our trade mark
We can never
Be the same

For you have put
A new song
On our lips
The latest
God-song to sing
More and more
We enter
Into the mystery
Abandoning ourselves
To God .

Praise Chronicles Pt6

The #Chronicles continue today, praise is indeed a fortress, from the fears and doubts that will rise. Give You Praise drops in less than two weeks!!! #waitforit✌✌

My praise
Is a fortress
A firm wall
All around me
When doubts and fears
Try to make me feel less
Praise sets my soul free

In the Pokings
And proddings
Of the heart
When reality
And beliefs differ
Praise brings me
Right back to the start
And my trust in you
Once more begins to soar


I know Of
No greater remedy
In sorrow
No better antidote
For fear
Than relentless praise
To the one
Who holds today
And tomorrow
For His promises
That certainly
Draw near


Such soothing relief
And  great delight
To know that
I can always win.
With praise on my lips
I can overcome anything .
Be they mountains high
Or valleys deep
Slippery roads
Or edges steep
Praise remains
My quantum leap

I can overcome ANYTHING!!!! 

Praise Chronicles pt 5

Hey!! the #chronicles today takes a shift to focus on Who we praise. When we think of Jesus and his amazing love
 , the only response can be praise. Give you praise would be released in 2 weeks time, and Im extremely delighted to share iy with you. In the mean time enjoy the #chronicles for today, and do share with someone.😃

Have you met Him?
The one I praise?
The God so magnificent
I can't help
But do it all my days.

His heart  so pure
His touch so gentle
His love was my cure
His words formed me
From the cradle

The one I praise
Bleeds red
His blood
Unreservedly shed
For me
Who didn't even know him
Or could  ever
Pay back in return
Yet he dare called me son?!!!

He is the one i praise
Oh the words
And vocabulary
I seek to articulate
His awesomeness
His grace
But with my praise
I wont hesitate
To tell of his glory
Of the beauty
Of his face.

Praise Chronicles pt 4

 The Chronicles Continue today, theres so much that happens when we Praise!! This is one thing the devil cant stand!! 
Give You Praise, drops in just a few weeks time and i can wait...hehe. Pls enjoy and share your thoughts below, also tell someone too. God bless!! 

Life may bring its battles
But praise

Is my weapon
A double edged sword
When my  feet 

Can no longer run.

To arouse the Lord Almighty 

To stir up 

The winner of victories
Will my praise come forth
For this is where he inhabits 

This is where he lives.

There can be only one verdict

One resolution
When i bring forth praise

Against any situation

That i am MORE

Than a conqueror
For what can stand

When the Lion of Judah roars??

I hear him roar

In my praise

Arousing himself to victory

Victory all for me

This is my rest
My triumph
My certainty  and calm
My praise 

The seal
Of my certain victory
And of the enemies defeat!!

Praise Chronicles Pt 3

Hey!!! The Chronicles Continue this week as we contemplate the subject of Praise. This is what we were created for!! 
Give You Praise, drops in just a few weeks time and i can wait...hehe. Pls enjoy and share your thoughts below, also tell someone too. God bless!! 



Every inch of me
Cries out to you
To declare your wonders
Your beauty
And your truth.

I will awake at dawn
To declare your praises
All day long

For this is the call
Of all creation
Both big and small
To bring you glory
To bring it all.

I'm most undeserving
Of your love
But you're most unreserved
In pouring it out
So why should i hold back?
Why contain it?

Ill waste it all on you
I'll pour my hearts perfume.
And then ill do it
All over again!!!

            -Chris Agape

Praise Chronicles Pt2

Hey!!! im so excited,Give You Praise, my debut song, would be released  later this month but just before then,  enjoy the Praise Chronicles, a collection of thoughts on the subject of praise and be refreshed!! Don't forget to share and leave a comment. God bless you!!

Bubbling forth like a river
I can't contain
Is my praise
To the one
Who called me by name.

To `look ' for reasons to praise
In itself is an irony
Cause they'll be no where to look
If you hadn't looked on me.

Relentless and without measure
Did you pour yourself out
So shall my praise
In the same fashion
Be unabated and devout

Let me praise you Now!!
I won't wait no more, 
All my heart will shout
You're the one i adore!. 
               -  Chris Agape

Praise is not just a cool tradition
Its a heart disposition.
Its not an item
Saved for a specific time /day of the week
But a continuous flow
From a heart humble and meek

When all is said and done
In mountains high and valleys low
In plenty and in meager
In sunny skies and rainy days
Let my response always be praise.

For  this reason i was made
To bring you pleasure
Without measure
I'm never more alive than in my praise
So ill bring it right Now! 
And for all my days.

                                     - Chris Agape
