While life can be uncertain and the trend disturbing, it is comforting to know that God has a plan. What is lost can certainly be found by the grace of God’s love, and singer-songwriter Yemi Alafifuni is here to deliver this message.
Grammy considered, and steadily growing within the Christian/Gospel scene, Yemi’s rich vocal tones and textures, along with his miraculous ability for writing lyrics, has released a new single, “Found” across all streaming platforms.
Found was written at two different times both demanding a response to a simple question; what are you looking for that God can’t fulfil?

The chorus of this song was written a few years ago as a response to self gratification thoughts. Yemi survived extremely difficult situations growing up and wondered in awe how God brought him through.
“In my mind, I believe I have lived a good life becoming a christian at a young age but it wasn’t that I could keep myself but God found me and kept me from all harm – both spiritually and physically”.
The entire song describes different moments of Yemi’s experiences coined through the lenses of these two scriptures;
1 John 4:10; This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
Jeremiah 29:13; You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.

Lyrics:
I will not monetise you
I will not trade you for gold
I will not trivialise you
I know where the power is
You never fail, You mesmerise me
No stone will take my place
You don’t need to hypnotise me
I know what You’ve done for me
I found love when I found You
Found peace in the storm
Found hope when You found me
Found what I was looking for
Found goodness in You
Found grace no-one deserves
Found You when You found me
You found me, You found me
You came running for me
My Champion came for me
I cannot quantify You
But I found who You really are
Found love when I found You
Found peace in the storm
Found hope when You found me
Found what I was looking for
Found goodness in You
Found grace no-one deserves
Found You when You found me
You found me… You found me
From the liars and strange fires
You came running, You found me
Words like water to my soul now
I’m new! You found me
Broke the shackles of my shadows
You came running, You found me
Love like fire in my bones
I’m new! You found me
I need a tête-à-tête
See, my heart needs to beat
I will not double date You
You won’t break my heart
Found love when I found You
Found peace in the storm
Found hope when You found me
Found what I was looking for
Found goodness in You
Found grace no-one deserves
Found You when You found me
You found me
You found me
