Apata Ayeraye

# Apáta Ayérayé (The Everlasting Rock) **"Apáta Ayérayé"** is more than a song to me—it is a treasured morning prayer that my father, **Pastor Olatunde**, has prayed faithfully for many years. Every morning, before the busyness of the day begins, he lifts these words to God in gratitude, acknowledging Him as the **Everlasting Rock**—the One who existed before the foundation of the world and who will remain forever when heaven and earth have passed away. This song is a declaration of God's eternal nature. It reminds us that while generations come and go, kingdoms rise and fall, and the world continues to change, **God never changes**. He is our unshakable foundation, our refuge, and our strength. Because of the deep spiritual meaning behind this prayer, I wanted to preserve it in song so that others around the world can worship the same eternal God with these timeless words. I cherish this song not only because of its beautiful message but also because it carries a legacy of faith that has been passed down through my father. Every time I sing it, I am reminded that our greatest security is found in the God who has no beginning and no end. May this song inspire you to pause, appreciate God's faithfulness, and lift your heart in worship to the One who is forever the **Apáta Ayérayé**—the Everlasting Rock. > **"Before the mountains were born or You brought forth the whole world, from everlasting to everlasting, You are God."** — Psalm 90:2
