Femi Okunuga - I Depend On You [@femiokunuga @eGospelHub]

I Depend On You is a song of total surrender to God and God alone, the author and the finisher of our faith, our anchor, the same yesterday today and forever.

“Has He helped before? He will help you again. Has He healed you before? He will heal you again”

Is your heart troubled? Do you feel it’s the end for you? Are you depressed, oppressed, dejected and rejected?

Trusting as the moments fly, Trusting as the days go by, Trusting Him, whatever befall, Trusting Jesus, that is all.

If He Did It Before, He Can And Will Do It Again

Fashion is not simply a matter of clothes; fashion is in the air

MIMI ONOLAJA

, born upon the wind; one intuits it." That's a quote from Coco Chanel – and it's how not to start a personal statement for a fashion degree.
