Nigerian gospel music minister Peterson Okopi, affectionately known as "The King's Crier," has released "Lift Up Your Head," a powerful anthem of encouragement from his highly anticipated new album, Yielded. The inspiring track is now available on all major streaming platforms alongside the full 16-track project via ONErpm.
A Call to Look Up in Hope
"Lift Up Your Head" emerges as a timely declaration for anyone facing discouragement, loss, or spiritual weariness. Drawing from the biblical tradition of calling God's people to lift their eyes from their circumstances to their Creator, the song delivers a message of divine restoration and renewed hope.
With its soaring melodies and Okopi's impassioned vocals, the track creates an atmosphere where despair gives way to expectation. The production blends contemporary gospel dynamics with African rhythmic elements, resulting in a sound that is both globally accessible and culturally authentic.

"Lift Up Your Head" serves as a pivotal moment on the project, shifting the focus from personal surrender to corporate encouragement.
