UK-based Nigerian Gospel singer and songwriter Cordelia Egbuniwe releases her debut single titled OH JESUS.

The successful production and release of this song OH JESUS is a great testimony. The song was birthed in the midst of a lot of interesting circumstances but God supplied the grace for completion. On the day of our studio session I had pains all over my body and I was running a temperature as part of the package of weaning a baby.

My husband, bless his  darling heart, took two days off work and looked after our two kids in order for me to be able to attend the studio sessions. I was very emotional for the two days that I was away, but at the same time I needed to do it if I was to make any headway with my music.

I wasn’t going to let the fever or body pains and hormonal feelings deter me from achieving my goal of being able to record the song. So I braved it all up and headed for our studio session in London for “Oh Jesus”. 
This song means a number of things to me and I sincerely hope it does the same for anyone who listens to it. Jesus has been my peace, my joy, my rock, my confidence and my hope throughout my life’s journey and He remains all of these and more to me even till now.

I am glad that the little dream of sharing this song with people is finally coming true. It is my desire to see this song encourage people. I believe that it will bring strength to the weak at heart and by the Holy Spirit motivate people to worship God in spirit and in truth Amen.
