In the video captioned 'Pain to Purpose', Dunsin Oyekan spoke about the moment that tested his faith and strength.
He explained that on the day of the burial, he carried his guitar with him and chose to worship instead of breaking down.
The songwriter recalled gathering people around and leading songs of praise even as emotions overwhelmed the atmosphere.
“My voice was shaking. God, you are so good. That was the song coming out of my spirit. People were crying, I was crying, but I kept singing, God, you are so good. I ended with Hallelujah, that’s what my song will be.”
The gospel singer revealed that he had to make a choice between sinking into grief or rising through worship.
He said he loved his wife deeply, having met her during their university days, and admitted that no words of comfort from people could ease the pain.
“I made up my mind that it is either I go down or I go up? And I chose worship. I ran to God. After seeing that people’s advice and comfort were not entering my head, I called God. I said, oh, is this what people go through? I will run to God.”
He added that several unreleased songs were born during that season, including one where he repeatedly sang the name of Jesus, declaring His goodness.
