MUSIC+LYRICS: Moyin Omidiji - Never

UK-based Nigerian gospel artist Moyin Omidiji is poised to touch hearts and stir deep reflection with the release of his latest single titled “Never.” This compelling Afro-gospel offering is far more than a song; it is a heartfelt meditation on the sacrifice of Jesus Christ and the unfathomable depth of His love for humanity. With this release, Moyin invites listeners into a sacred space of remembrance, gratitude, and renewed commitment to the message of the cross.

“Never” is built around the central theme of Christ’s sacrificial love—love that was freely given, undeserved, and eternally transformative. Through carefully crafted lyrics and emotive delivery, Moyin Omidiji paints a vivid picture of the crucifixion, allowing listeners to reflect deeply on what it truly cost Jesus to redeem mankind. Lines such as “You paid the price you did not owe” carry a profound weight, reminding believers that salvation came at a cost none of us could ever repay. The reference to “Lama sabachthani”—the cry of Jesus on the cross—further amplifies the emotional gravity of the song, drawing attention to the anguish, abandonment, and pain Christ endured out of love for the world.

At the heart of “Never” lies a powerful and resolute chorus that serves as a declaration of gratitude and devotion. “I will never let it go in vain / All the suffer wey you suffer for me” is both a personal vow and a communal confession. It is a commitment to live a life that honors Christ’s sacrifice, refusing to take His suffering lightly or treat grace as common. By incorporating expressive Nigerian colloquial phrasing, Moyin bridges cultural identity with spiritual truth, making the message both relatable and deeply authentic.

Musically, “Never” is a beautiful fusion of soulful vocals and rich African rhythms. The Afro-gospel arrangement gives the song a warm, reverent texture that resonates across generations and cultures. The instrumentation is thoughtfully balanced—gentle enough to encourage reflection, yet strong enough to carry the weight of worship. Moyin’s vocal delivery is sincere and restrained, allowing the message of the song to take center stage without distraction. Every note and harmony works together to create an atmosphere that invites listeners into worship rather than performance.

What makes “Never” especially impactful is its versatility and spiritual relevance. While it is perfectly suited for Easter reflections and Passion-themed meditations, its message transcends seasons. The song speaks to anyone who has ever paused to consider the meaning of the cross and the depth of God’s love. It fits seamlessly into personal devotion moments, church worship sessions, and gospel playlists that celebrate Christ-centered, culturally rooted music.

Moyin Omidiji continues to establish himself as an artist who is deeply intentional about his message. His music reflects not only his heritage but also his unwavering commitment to using his gift to point hearts back to Christ. With “Never,” he reinforces the importance of remembrance—remembering the cross, the sacrifice, and the love that changed everything.

In a world where distractions are many and gratitude can easily fade, “Never” stands as a gentle yet firm reminder: the sacrifice of Jesus must never be taken for granted. This song calls listeners to reflect, respond, and renew their devotion, making it a timely and timeless addition to the global gospel music landscape.

Lyrics:

You took my pain away
You paid the price you did not owe
You took my place, Lord you took my shame
My sins were great, the price was high
But you said your love is greater
Your love is greater than I could imagine, 
Than I could imagine

On the lonely road Just all by yourself
Where you screamed and shout sabachthani
Lama sabachthani
Lord you gave your life and died for me
Lord you took away my pain
You’re the anchor to my soul

Chorus
 I will never let it go in vain
All the suffer wey you suffer for me
I will tell it on the mountain top
Till it echoes all around, till it echoes everywhere

I will never let it go in vain
All the suffer wey you suffer for me
I will tell it on the mountain top
Till it echoes all around, till it echoes everywhere

You paid the price you did not owe
You took my place, Lord you took my shame
My sins were great, the price was high
But you said your love is greater
Your love is greater than I could imagine, 
Than I could comprehend

On the lonely road Just all by yourself
Where you screamed and shout sabachthani
Lama sabachthani
Lord you gave your life and died for me
Lord you took away my pain
You’re the anchor to my soul

Chorus
 I will never let it go in vain
All the suffer wey you suffer for me
I will tell it on the mountain top
Till it echoes all around, till it echoes everywhere

I will never let it go in vain
All the suffer wey you suffer for me
I will tell it on the mountain top
