Following the success of her single “Ozo” and collaborations with fellow gospel artistes, Orangeville’s music artiste Giftberries partners with Dan dan ni crooner Toeyoursea in this soulful ballad titled “For Who You Are” in adoration of God’s love, faithfulness and greatness.
“This song means a lot to me because God has been faithful to me since the day I accepted him into my life, daily as I live, often as I breath, my life will be an expression of his grace, so worshipping God is what I love to do”. – Giftberries
Produced by Labelmate Okeysokay
