    Listened to this song countless times over the years, wept waiting over 7years to have a child of mine and God did it Dec 2021,shared tears of Joy on her delivery and my heart has been full of joy since her arrival. one of her numerous names..... "Ekundayo".Oct 2022 marks her 10th month birthday. went further to researched about Madam Ekundayo in the song and my soul was touched with her devotion to caring for abandoned children till she passed on to Glory.
    If anyone is reading this... please dont give up.

    Mama Janet Ekundayo (1917- 2009) Philanthropist & Carer. Hailed as the 'Mother Teresa of Nigeria', with limited education and funds set up the Ekundayo Children's Home in Makutu-Isanlu Kogi State in 1967. As at 2007 over 500 orphans had passed through the Home. She cared for orphans without government assistance up until her death in a road accident in 2009

    @LLTY1 Před 4 lety +3

    I've watched this video several times but each time I can't stop crying. It makes me think about what's important in life and how we are meant to be sources and channels of blessing. Not only when we have lots of money but even in our "poverty" we can be a blessing. I believed Madam Ekundayo lived a fruitful and fulfilled life. We need to live our lives such that when we are gone, people will be crying but we will be rejoicing as we go to meet our Maker.
    Many thanks to Toyin (TY Bello) for being a blessing by bringing Madam Ekundayo and her exploits into limelight. God bless you and your team!

    The life that I lived
    Was far from her reality
    Don't know how empty I was
    Madam your life your heart touched mine
    I was struck by the purity of your smile
    Now I know
    Realise the change I can bring (Change I can be)
    To suffering children who've got no home
    Pray for me so I can see
    Through your eyes(through your eyes)

    When you make way
    For the all little ones
    Who otherwise would not have made it through their day
    You become a part of their tale
    Oh how beautiful are the feet of every man
    Who brings tidings of hope to children broken
    Blessings from heaven gate
    Will shower you every day
