UK chart topping music artiste, Yemi Alafifuni releases a profound and thought-provoking new single titled “DNA.” Inspired by a saying “Carry God on your inside” and first written on a flight, Yemi searches for a correlation between scriptures and the inherent good in everyone. Whether Christian or not, do we all have a trace of God inside of us?
This is a fresh afrobeat sound, aimed at the young at heart but bears the truth of the scriptures for all.
The Inspiration:
The song idea started over 20 years ago during a vibrant time at a university Yemi attended. At this university, he joined a cohort of Christian students who were passionate about learning. Yemi recalls that they would usually greet each other with a saying; “You carry God on your inside!”. This was a constant reminder of who they were in Christ. This saying stuck with me for years, Yemi said. But could there be more to that saying? Like many manufacturers will include a personal signature in their creation that shows ownership, did God put a personal signature of His in every human?
The answer is Yes. Where? Our DNA.
This song summarises Yemi’s research into the topic of identity and how our deepest being carries GOD and everything we are, comes from Him.
DNA Lyrics
Love DNA
Every breath I take
Every beat of my heart
I feel it in my bones
There’s something in my DNA
Cause in Him
I live and
Move and
Have my being
In You
I live and
Move and
Have my being
That’s in my DNA
Love DNA
That’s in my DNA
His Love in my DNA
That’s in my DNA
Love DNA
That’s in my DNA
His love in my DNA
O Hallelujah
By the Spirit
Hallelujah
We are born of God
Born of God
I don’t wanna mellow
From the ghetto to the rooftops
Somewhere in your story
There’s Yahweh in our DNA
Cause in Him
we live and
Move and
have our being
In Him
we live and
Move and
have our being
That’s in my DNA
Love DNA
That’s in my DNA
His LOVE in my DNA
That’s in my DNA
Love DNA
That’s in my DNA
His LOVE in my DNA
You can’t hide Him
You can’t shake Him
There’s G.O.D. in our bones
You can’t hide Him
You can’t shake Him
There’s G.O.D. in our bones
