Empress Gifty out with ‘Awieye Pa’ video
Empress Gifty
Ghanaian gospel musician, Empress Gifty has released the visuals for her new song titled ‘Awieye Pa’.
The video directed and shot by Skyweb tells the story of a talented young lady who faced challenges growing up.
Gifted with an awe-inspiring voice, she never had the support of her family to exhibit the gift.
Not perturbed by this and on an errand in the market one day, she met a Man of God preaching and decided to join and sing for him.
Unknowing to this young lady, her mother who couldn’t wait any longer at home stormed the market to humiliate her and later sacked her from the house.
‘Awieye Pa’which is her first single for the year, was written by her colleague, Ewura Abena also was inspired by the words in Jeremiah 29:11: “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”
The song preaches a message of motivation that one’s beginning may look troubled, however, with trust in God, the end will look brighter.
In ‘Awieye Pa’, the multiple award-winner encourages people not to allow themselves to be troubled by what others do or say because their destiny is in the hands of God not humans.
