Father's Love
Tosin Koyi
Redeemed EP
(c) 2016

Verse 1
I may be a gangster
I may be a fraudster
I am a cheat, a rogue, a thief
With no truth on my inside

May have slept with lots of ladies
A father to many babies
Void of responsibility, to my own family, and the society.

I may even be on death row
With no hope for tomorrow
Still in that state, I can hear Him say
That He still loves me (yeah)...

Prechorus:
(Now tell me)
What have I done to deserve His love?
What have I done to deserve His grace?
Why would He be in love with a man like me?
Why would He treat me like royalty?

Your love is far more than my mind could ever comprehend.
Your love is far more than my mind could ever conceive.

Chorus:
The Father's love
Is unconditional
The Father's love
Is unconditional

Cos' He loves you
When you don't deserve it
He loves you
When you don't cherish it
He loves you
Even when you say that you don't
He still is going to love you.

Verse 2
This love that I know doesn't let go
This love that I know doesn't give up on you
Even when you think you've fallen
[Fallen]
You'll never fall outside of His love

Greater love has no man than this;
Than a man should give his life for his friends
In that while I was still a sinner,
Christ came to die, for the ungodly like me

Prechorus:
(Now tell me)
What have I done to deserve His love?
What have I done to deserve His grace?
Why would He be in love with a man like me?
Why would He treat me like royalty?

Your love is far more than my mind could ever comprehend.
Your love is far more than my mind could ever conceive.

Chorus:
The Father's love
Is unconditional
The Father's love
Is unconditional

Cos' He loves you
When you don't deserve it
He loves you
When you don't cherish it
He loves you
Even when you say that you don't
He still is going to love you.

Bridge:
Before the foundations of the world, I'm forgiven
Before I did my first wrong, yes, I was loved
By the sacrifice of His only Son, I'm accepted in the Beloved
I'm predestined, to be redeemed
But by grace and not by anything I did

Vamp:
I don't know why, He loves me
I am so glad, He loves me

Chorus:
The Father's love
Is unconditional
The Father's love
Is unconditional

Cos' He loves you
When you don't deserve it
He loves you
When you don't cherish it
He loves you
Even when you say that you don't
He still is going to love you.

"White As Snow"

Produced by Silky/Sync Studios
© 2016

Enough of the pain, enough of the shame
Enough of the hurt, that you feel inside
Your days of despair, have come to an end
If you'd only receive My plan

Cos' I'm the answer, to every question in your heart
I'm the Way, that leads to life
For no reason will I cast away anyone who comes to Me
To receive, life to an overflow.

Chorus:
Come let's reason together
Though your sins be red as scarlet
Going to make them white as snow
Come let's reason together
Though your sins be red as scarlet

I'm gonna make them: [white as snow]
Gonna make them: [white as snow]
Gonna make them: [white as snow]
Gonna make them: [white as snow]
White as snow..

What are you afraid of and why do you contemplate?
Why do you think that you have gone so far away from grace? 

I challenge you to take a stand and leave it all behind
Regrets of yesterday and the fears of your tomorrow

For the chance you've been waiting for is right here
My grace will meet your need
And in my love, you have all of Me

Chorus
Come let's reason together
Though your sins be red as scarlet
Going to make them white as snow
Come let's reason together
Though your sins be red as scarlet

I'm gonna make them:
[White as snow]
[Jesus will make you]
[White as snow]

[Though your sins be red as scarlet]
[White as snow]
[The saviour will make you]
[White as snow]
[White as snow]

Bridge
[I'm gonna make them white]
[He says I'm gonna make them white as snow]
[I'm gonna make them white]
[Though your sins be red, I'm gonna make them white]

Ad lib:
Gonna make them, all white
Come on, bring them all to Me child
No matter how far you've gone
No matter how long you've been away
Come on, no mater how far (long) you've been away
I'm willing to forgive any sin
That's why I came, that's why I died on the cross
White as snow

The Father's love is real
Though your sins be red
He will make you whole

Verse
I've made a choice, to follow You for the rest of my life
I've made a move, to walk with You with faith in my heart
Trusting You, is the only reason I've made it this far
And I'm still standing

Pre-Chorus
Hold me still
When I am surrounded by waves and tempest storms
Oh , You count me dear
Not to let my feet be moved out of place
Cos my soul is safe

Chorus
In Your everlasting arms
Your everlasting arms

Bridge
You rock me steady steady
When my heart is heavy
I call You Daddy Daddy
Your love is all that I need

Everlasting Arms

The musical expressions of the very talented, TOSIN KOYI features heart rumbling and life transforming poetry delivered on a smooth and silky vocal texture further embellished by foot-stomping, body-swerving and head-nodding rhythms, a beautiful constellation of ART and GRACE.

Born in the late 80’s in Lagos (Nigeria), Tosin drew an affinity for music whilst observing his elder siblings amongst which is TOX, a runner up in the UK IDOLS, 2007. The passion grew stronger and further, propelled by a defining moment shortly after his 18th birthday when he received the baptism of the Holy Spirit; From this point on, music transformed from a mere hobby into a passionate calling.

The song EVERLASTING ARMS is an affirmation ditto a heart cry of a Child’s commitment to his father cum total belief in the love and security he feels from knowing his father’s everlasting presence; absolutely heartwarming.

TOSIN KOYI currently serves as a music director in his local Church and has a set of singles in the pipeline under a project code named “Strength of Words”.

"Frankly, I See"
Tosin Koyi
Get Happy Project

Verse
I'll choose my heart to be broken
Than admit that what we have is meant to be
I'd rather leave it unspoken
Else I would risk to show my insecurities
Don't blame me to hold to
What I truly believe

Chorus
Frankly, I see that you are
The one that I need, but no
I'll plead the 5th
When I think of all that I feel
For ya'

Verse
Oh, wouldn't be moved by the way
You touch me
And oh, I submit to my excuses
To let you go
I don't think I can ever take this off
My soul

Chorus
Frankly, I see that you are
The one that I need, but no
I'll plead the 5th
When I think of all that I feel
For ya'

"My Feelings Don't Lie"
Tosin Koyi
Get Happy Project

Verse
As I stepped into this room 
My eyes caught yours
I'm locked in 
There's no way I'm moving on

How could I ignore
This blessing from above 
What a beauty to behold
I need no more

Pre-Chorus
Fell in love at the sight of you
You're the dream I've been seeking
Think of a life I could spend with you
Be my reason for breathing

Chorus
One for the money 
Two for the show
Three for the feeling 
I can't find a fourth 
Know right now
My feelings don't lie

Verse
Maybe, I'm dreaming
Oh such a tale that I could to tell
Will you, forgive me 
Cos' I've been trying to catch my breath

I'm sinking deep
You gracefully
Swept me off my feet

Pre-Chorus
Fell in love at the sight of you
You're the dream I've been seeking
Think of a life I could spend with you
Be my reason for breathing

Chorus
One for the money 
Two for the show
Three for the feeling 
I can't find a fourth 
Know right now
My feelings don't lie

My Feelings Don't Lie

"My Sanctuary"
Tosin Koyi
Get Happy Project

Verse
It's safe to say, I have much worth
And vast riches, at my beck and call
Could give all at no second thought
To have the treasure that I've found in You

Got all this fame stuck to my name
Spotlights on me as I walk on stage
Oh I must confess that 
I have no need for much acclaim

No gain or fame could fill this void
I make this plain, that I'm in awe
Of the way that Your presence make me feel

Chorus
Right here my hope lives
Your peace is what my heart needs
All my doubts fade away
When I'm in Your embrace
You are my sanctuary

I'll trade it all away just to be with You
I'm so glad that You love me through and through
All my doubts fade away
When I'm in Your embrace
You are my sanctuary

"Loosing You"
Tosin Koyi
Get Happy Project

Verse
Sorry, is not a word I love to hear that much
But honey, I guess it's all that we have left

What am I to do when we don't even talk again
How can I pretend that you always seem so far away

You're clearly living in a world of your own

Chorus 
It's no news that I am loosing you
There's no need for me feeling blue
Yes you're slipping away from my arms

Heaven knows that I am letting go
Like the walls came down on Jericho
There is no defence for what's called "you and I" again

I'm loosing you, and I'm letting go
