International music minister and gospel recording artist, Yemi Alafifuni has released an audio and official music video titled “Padre.”
He shares the story behind the song:
THE SONG: Padre
“This song in itself is my story and tells of how knowing Padre (meaning Father) changed my life. Up to the age of 5, I had an enviable loving relationship with my biological dad, but our relationship took a turn for worse and suddenly, I could no longer depend on his love and protection.
“The Father (God) isn’t like that. He is good and although we can be unfaithful, He remains constantly in love with us.
“The inspiration for this song is drawn from a relationship with God as Father and the apparent epidemic of the “fatherless generation” which lead to the release of the ‘Father’ album.”
