Tru Mantra, the dynamic music duo comprised of Lanre Abiose and Tony Okwechime, has released their latest single, “Jeje.” This soulful track takes the timeless wisdom of Proverbs 3:5-6 and transforms it into a melodic journey of faith and trust in God:
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.”
“Jeje” captures the essence of this scripture, emphasizing the importance of trusting in God over relying on one’s own understanding. With its catchy hook and message-laden verses, the song encourages listeners to make the right choice and lean on God’s boundless love and guidance.
Reflecting on the song’s message, Tru Mantra states, “With only one life to live, the choice is either to struggle with the frustrating limitations of self or to trust in God and rest in His boundless love.” The chorus invites everyone to embrace this philosophy:
Jeje laye yi o, Jeje laye yi (Take life easy)
