The powerful worship track, “Abum Onye” (often titled “Abum Onye (Just Negodu)”), was first widely released as a single on August 7, 2024, with a “Spontaneous Session” version featuring Ebube Anyiam and the Fearless Community choir released earlier on July 26, 2024. The song, which translates to “Who Am I,” is sung primarily in the Igbo language and is categorized under the African Gospel and Contemporary Worship genres. The release, regardless of the version, was handled by Tim Godfrey’s record label, Rox Nation, under an exclusive license to MAD Solutions LLC, underscoring his independent approach to music distribution.
Tim Godfrey, a celebrated Nigerian gospel artist known for his dynamic stage presence and his ministry’s emphasis on fearlessness, uses “Abum Onye” to explore themes of divine grace and human humility. The song’s profound impact lies in its central, rhetorical question, mirroring the sentiments of the Psalmist—wondering why a majestic God cares so deeply for mere mortals. It serves as a personal, yet congregational, anthem of gratitude and adoration, utilizing a soulful melody and powerful call-and-response elements to solidify Godfrey’s reputation as a key figure bridging traditional African expressions of worship with a polished, contemporary global sound.
