Anointed gospel music singer, Faith Sani churns out a brand new Christmas song titled “Ayo Ti De” featuring Tosin Bee.
The Yoruba [a language largely spoken in the southwestern region of Nigeria] titled Yuletide song “Ayo Ti De” which simply translates to “Joy Has Come” in the English language is an expression of The Joy of the Lord through His Birth.
Sharing the motivation behind releasing a Christmas song, Faith says “The birth of Jesus Christ is very significant. His birth Is an extension of God’s love to Mankind, John 3:16.”
“Jesus birth brought salvation, joy, redemption and restoration to mankind. His birth is the greatest gift from the almighty God to us.
Irrespective of our race, religion and culture, Jesus is the king of kings and the lord of lords, and he is our joy and righteousness” – she concludes.
The song is produced by Tyanx.
