‘My God Don Answer My Prayer’: Tobi Tokz and Blessing Swithin Deliver a Soul-Stirring Gospel Hit ‘Hallelujah’
There’s a certain warmth that only gratitude can create; that feeling of quiet joy when life finally turns a corner, and all you can do is lift your hands and say “Thank You, Lord.” That’s the energy that pulses through “Hallelujah,” the new Afro-gospel single by Tobi Tokz featuring Blessing Swithin, released on November 9, 2025. Coming off the back of faith-filled releases like “I Surrender,” “Elroi,” and “Trumpet Sound,” this track marks a new chapter in Tobi Tokz’s evolving gospel journey, one that radiates joy, gratitude, and the deep satisfaction of prayers answered.
From the first chant of “Hallelujah eh!” the song bursts with celebratory energy. There’s no prelude or hesitation; Tobi Tokz throws listeners straight into the rhythm of thanksgiving. The hook, “My God don answer my prayer,” is as simple as it is powerful, a phrase that rolls easily off the tongue and stays lodged in the heart long after the song ends. Musically, “Hallelujah” blends the vibrant percussion and rhythmic pulse of Afrobeat with the spiritual depth of gospel, creating a sound that feels both local and global, church and street, reflective and danceable.
What gives “Hallelujah” its emotional weight isn’t just its melody, but its testimony. In the verse, Tokz sings, “Many years ago my life been no better, see my life today my God don answer my prayer.” It’s the kind of line that tells a full story in one breath; the long wait, the struggle, the transformation. When he continues, “I don get money, I don get pikin, I don know Jesus,” it’s not about flaunting blessings; it’s about acknowledging divine turnaround. The joy in his delivery feels earned, grounded in real experiences of hardship and redemption.
The addition of Blessing Swithin adds another layer of richness to the song. Her harmonies lift the chorus, turning Tokz’s gratitude into a shared moment of worship. Together, their voices blend seamlessly; his tone steady and reflective, hers bright and soulful, creating the feel of a praise session that could easily fill a church hall or a Sunday morning radio slot. The chemistry between them gives “Hallelujah” its communal spirit; it’s not a solo testimony, but a chorus of many voices giving thanks.
A standout moment comes during the spoken-word interlude, when Tobi Tokz steps out of the melody and into heartfelt reflection to thank God for all He has done for him. In that moment, the instrumentation softens, and the spotlight falls on sincerity. It’s not performance; it’s prayer. The quiet break in rhythm makes the gratitude hit harder, reminding listeners that beneath the groove lies genuine worship.
Stylistically, “Hallelujah” feels like a continuation of Tobi Tokz’s recent musical evolution, from introspective surrender (“I Surrender”) to revelation (“Elroi”) to awakening (“Trumpet Sound”), and now, full-blown celebration. It’s a sonic arc that mirrors a spiritual journey: from seeking to finding, from silence to song. His growth as a gospel artist shows in how effortlessly he balances storytelling with rhythm, using everyday language to communicate deep faith truths that resonate across backgrounds and generations.
In the end, “Hallelujah” isn’t just a song; it’s a joyful proclamation of grace, a soundtrack for everyone who’s ever seen light follow darkness. With its infectious chorus, authentic storytelling, and uplifting energy, Tobi Tokz and Blessing Swithin have crafted a praise anthem that will echo beyond church walls, into homes, hearts, and celebrations where gratitude lives.
The song “Hallelujah,” isn’t just a release; it is a reminder that every answered prayer deserves a song.
