Blessing Tangban has released "God Of…," a worship single that started on a mountaintop in Nigeria and turned into something much bigger. The African Nova Scotian Music Association's 2025 Songwriter of the Year wrote the track while looking out over mountains and valleys, and that physical landscape became a metaphor for everything she wanted to say about God. The song is about how God shows up in the celebrations and the hard times, in the moments when you feel close to Him and the moments when you're not sure He's there at all.
