Gospel recording artiste, songwriter and author, Toyin Joe-Bassey unveils her brand new single titled “You Are God.”
She enlisted the expertise of her music maestro twin brother, Tosin Ajolore to make the urban contemporary gospel song an outstanding effort. Tosin shares the story behind the song “I do not remember any time that I sat down to write a song. Most often songs just drop in my heart and though I received quite a number of them, ‘You are God’ stayed with me because it came at a very difficult time in my career as an office administrator.
“Working as West Africa’s office administrator in an International SoftTech company but was also required to sell training packages was the worst part of my job. Matters were compounded by my failing health at that time. So on this particular day, my boss told me that if I failed in ensuring my sales targets for a particular training, he was going to deal badly with me.
“Fear of failure overwhelmed my heart, but it was a church service day. In the taxi on my way to church, I was thinking of my ‘pot of hot soup’ as I already knew that I could not meet up my sales target and it seemed like the skies were falling. I began to pray that I don’t fail and then suddenly, my mouth opened and this song poured out…Voila!
“I sing it in worship to God severally in my personal devotion. It’s so powerful that I literally feel the entire creation singing with me.
“When I’m up against the wall, I remember this song… God is God, irrespective of what life throws at me, it wells up in my heart. Because in reality He is God ‘no matter the matter’. By the way, to God’s glory, the training did hold. I believe everyone on earth should have access to this song:
individuals, groups, choirs Oh Yes!
“This is a remix from my first album and again featuring my twin brother; who used his platform to help me record it again. May the heavens open over our lives as we sing this song together and may our Lord Jesus be glorified. Amen” She shared

Lyrics:
Verse 1:
Kingdoms rise, kingdoms fall
Friends may come and friends do walk away
…sunny days, gloomy days
Children are born and children die
Sometimes, I’ve got lots of money
At other times, I don’t have a dime
But in spite of these, I know that You are God
Chorus:
You are God
You are God
God, You are God
You are God
You are God
You are God
You are God
You are God
God, You are God
You are God
You are God
You are God
Verse 2:
From the rising of the sun
To the going down of the same
Your name…shall be praised
Oh magnify with me
let us exalt his name together
For He’s God all by Himself
He’s King of kings, Lord or lords,
Alpha and Omega
the Beginning and the End
The First and the Last
Rose of Sharon,
Lily of the valley
There is no one besides you
You are God 3x
Chorus:
You are God
You are God
God, You are God
You are God
You are God
You are God
You are God
You are God
God, You are God
You are God
You are God
You are God
Uh Uh Uh Uh…
Uh Uh Uh Uh…
You are God
You are God
God, You are God
You are God
You are God
You are God
You are God
You are God
God, You are God
You are God
You are God
You are God
