On July 17th, 2025, UK-based Nigerian gospel artist Moyin Omidiji released his latest single, “Never”—a soul-stirring piece that reflects deeply on the sacrifice of Jesus Christ and the immeasurable depth of His love. In a gospel scene filled with routine praise anthems and formulaic worship tracks, “Never” stands out for its heartfelt emotion, lyrical honesty, and rich cultural authenticity.
From the very first verse, Moyin pulls the listener into the raw and painful reality of the crucifixion with poetic lines like, “You paid the price you did not owe.” This line doesn’t just recall a familiar gospel message—it frames it in a deeply personal way. The inclusion of the cry, “Lama sabachthani”—Aramaic for “My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?”—adds to the emotional weight of the song, grounding it in both Scripture and sentiment. It’s not just theology—it’s felt truth.
The chorus, which proclaims, “I will never let it go in vain / All the suffer wey you suffer for me,” is a powerful declaration of gratitude. The use of Nigerian Pidgin here isn’t just stylistic; it brings a level of intimacy and cultural depth that resonates with both African audiences and global listeners who appreciate authenticity in gospel music. This is where Moyin’s strength lies—his ability to take ancient truths and express them in a way that feels current, relatable, and deeply human.
Musically, “Never” is anchored in Afro-gospel—a fusion of African rhythms, contemporary gospel instrumentation, and traditional worship vibes. The production is clean yet emotionally rich, allowing Moyin’s vocals to take center stage. His voice carries both tenderness and conviction, guiding the listener through moments of reflection, sorrow, and ultimately, hope. Whether you’re listening during a personal devotion or as part of a worship gathering, the song feels right at home in sacred spaces.
One of the standout aspects of “Never” is its versatility. While it is perfect for Easter reflections, it also fits seamlessly into worship playlists year-round. It’s a track for anyone who wants to pause and remember the foundation of their faith—not in a shallow or performative way, but through genuine, moving artistry.
Moyin Omidiji is no stranger to meaningful gospel music, and “Never” shows a clear progression in both his songwriting and spiritual focus. It’s more than a song—it’s a heartfelt response to grace. His ability to balance deep theological reflection with accessible musical delivery makes him a rising voice in modern gospel, especially for those looking for music that doesn’t just sound good but says something real.
In a world where worship can sometimes feel commercialized or emotionally disconnected, “Never” offers something rare: a sincere, culturally rooted, and spiritually resonant piece of music. It invites us not just to listen, but to reflect—and most importantly, to respond with gratitude.
If you’re a fan of contemporary gospel with a strong African influence, or simply someone who values worship music with depth and honesty, “Never” by Moyin Omidiji deserves your attention. It’s not just a track to enjoy—it’s one to remember.
