John-Otaka – Alade Ft. Zinny Uka

I woke up one morning during the lockdown with this new song in my spirit.

Yes I was singing it in the dream and woke up still singing it that beautiful morning.

The shock however is that the first word that came out as I tried to translate it to human understanding was ALADE a Yoruba Word.

I quickly looked up the meaning to be PRINCE.

So ALADE is about JESUS The PRINCE OF GLORY that all powers bow at the mention of His Name.

Proverbs 18 verse 10 says The Name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.”
