Evans Ighodalo is back once again with a brand new song. “Dance of Joy (Unek Idara)” is a fast tempo contemporary African Praise song which is lyrically balanced with a touch of English, Efik and Ibibio from the Southern part of Nigeria.
Having mastered his craft with release of inspiring songs since his entry into the music industry and the creativity displayed on this song, it is ok to assume that Evans has come along way defining his sound.
“On a daily basis the mercies of God are new and his goodness never seizes. Our appreciation can be by the words we speak or the act of celebration with a dance.
Even though we may understand that worship is a very important priority, we sometimes struggle with expressions of worship. Because of our personalities, our backgrounds and our traditions we sometimes find it difficult to express our praise. But expressing praise to God is a major part of our worship. Why? Because God’s presence is manifested, evident when we praise Him.
(Psa 22:3) “But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.”
Get your dancing shoes on and let’s give God some Holy Ghost dance joyfully.
