Fear in thought and reality cripples. It does an impeccable job reminding us of our shortcomings and our frailty as humans, a strong reason for mediocrity. For too long has the church been subject to the claws of this insidious phenomenon. Therefore, I am delighted to announce to you that grace has taken over, a new dawn has begun.
“As long as I have You” reminds us that our future is secured in Christ. We do not need the approval or permission of forces that be, either seen or perceived to succeed. The world itself and all within may not agree with us on what we believe, yet indeed, our victory is predestined, waiting to be received.
Get ready to be engrossed in the rich soulful sounds of Tosin Koyi as he takes you on this musical journey into rediscovering the provision of God in Christ that disarms fear – faith in God’s presence and care!

Verse 1
I found out so easily: Life is full of mysteries.
In the midst of uncertainties, I found out the recipe
Something so real, something more than history
Something reassuring more than words could ever be
Yes, I’ve found the Way, the Truth and the Life
Christ: the present, past and future of my life
Bottom line remains, there’s nothing else to change
God’s got my back: no reason to fear
Chorus
Cos’ I don’t have to be afraid of what tomorrow may bring my way
As long as I have You, LORD
As long as I have You
As long as I have You
As long as I have You
As long as I have You
Verse 2
You wrote my story, before time began
[Wrote my story, yeah, yeah, yeah]
Even when I can’t see my way, I can rely on You
[Only You]
Chance has no part in my destiny
My steps are ordered in adversity
You hold the keys to my world
And You unlock every door
Chorus
I don’t have to be afraid of what tomorrow may bring my way
As long as I have You, LORD
As long as I have You
[Backups]
As long as I have You [Everything will be OK]
As long as I have You [I can make it through stormy days]
As long as I have You [I don’t have to be afraid]
Bridge
It doesn’t matter how long this may take me
[It doesn’t matter, I’m gonna be strong]
Ain’t no matter what the devil is going to bring my way
I will be strong
[Yay!]
I will hold on
[Yay!]
While waiting for the promise I find in Your Word
Because eyes have not seen
Ears have not heard
Neither has it come into the hearts of men
What You’ve prepared for me
Chorus
I don’t have to be afraid of what tomorrow may bring my way
As long as I have You, LORD
As long as I have You
Ad-lib
As long as I got You Jesus
I don’t need the whole world
Just You in my life will make the difference
I’ll just keep my eyes on You
The cross has made a way for me
Your blood has paid the price
Don’t have to be afraid.

Congrats dear.
Some times words fail us to say what we really want to communicate to the world. But seeing words like this only tells me that they are not just mere enticing words, but words from the Holy spirit that gives us hope for the journey ahead. As long as I have Christ then I don’t have to be afraid of what tomorrow may bring my way.
Simply put, I may not know what today holds for me or the future, but I know the One who is the same yesterday, today and forever and He has in Him the capacity to make all things beautiful. He is the God of all times, so I need not fear.
Ride on Oluwatosin Koyi, this is just the beginning, greater heights ahead.
