WHAT IS THIS? THE GOD OF SEASONS AND THE GOD OF TRUE WONDERS

I was in church this morning. The hymn taken was the English Version of " Afope F'Olorun, lokan ati lohun wa"(Now thank we all our God, with heart and hands and voices).
I was singing it emotionally in Yoruba ( my native tongue) as it was been sang. You know how I know that song. I knew it in a very strange way- hunger!
It was the "national anthem" at the naming ceremonies that I went to when I was living with my Grand mother over 35years ago in Ibadan.
I remember it like yesterday. After 5am morning prayer we head in a "convoy" to the next child naming venue for the day .As the anthem starts-we will be praying for them to finish on time-so we can have the typical dose of bread + tea + sardine stew (if there is).
