Celebrated Nigerian gospel minister Ada Ehi has released her latest single, “I Live,” a stirring live worship recording now available across all major streaming platforms.
Born and raised in Lagos, Ada Ehi’s trajectory from a backing vocalist to an international worship leader has been defined by a unique blend of ministerial devotion and creative discipline. Despite her academic background in engineering, her career has remained firmly rooted in the church, where she has become one of Africa’s most influential voices in contemporary Christian music.
Unlike many traditional hymns that treat the resurrection as a purely historical event, “I Live” frames it as a current, daily reality for the believer. The track moves away from themes of struggle, opting instead for a resolute focus on assurance, confidence and collective belief.
“Because Christ lives, the believer lives fully,” the song declares, stripping away complex metaphors in favour of a direct, potent spiritual truth.
Recorded in a live setting, the single captures the raw energy of communal worship. The production relies heavily on spontaneous affirmations, which captures the “in-the-moment” spirit of the gathering, call-and-response comprising lines such as “What’s your testimony?” shift the focus from the stage to the congregation.
Also, communal chants build an atmosphere of shared victory that translates powerfully through digital speakers.
With its simple but profound message, “I Live” is poised to become a staple in both personal playlists and congregational worship sets globally.
