In an inspired blend of transatlantic gospel talent, Canadian-Nigerian worship leader Daniel Ojo has teamed up with renowned American gospel artist Phil Thompson for the release of their latest single, “Surely Goodness.” The soulful worship anthem dropped this week to an outpouring of praise from fans and faith communities worldwide.
Rooted in Psalm 23, “Surely Goodness” is a heartfelt declaration of God’s unwavering love and faithfulness a message both artists say is deeply needed in today’s uncertain world. The song fuses contemporary worship sounds with rich gospel tradition, offering a melodic experience designed to uplift and encourage.
“This song is a testimony,” said Daniel Ojo, who also produced the track. “It’s a reminder that no matter what we go through, God’s goodness and mercy will never leave us. Collaborating with Phil brought a new depth and anointing to the message.”
Phil Thompson, known globally for his chart-topping hit “My Worship”, described the collaboration as “divinely appointed,” praising Ojo’s musical vision and spiritual authenticity. “When Daniel sent me the song, I felt the heart behind it immediately,” Thompson shared. “It was an honor to be part of a message that carries such hope.”
The single is accompanied by a visually striking music video, filmed in Toronto, showcasing sweeping natural backdrops and moments of intimate worship. Released across major streaming platforms, “Surely Goodness” is already generating buzz in gospel circles and climbing digital music charts.
Critics have noted the song’s lyrical simplicity and emotional resonance as key strengths, with gospel radio stations and churches beginning to add it to rotation and worship sets.
Daniel Ojo, founder of The Psalmist Music ministry, continues to gain recognition for his work blending multicultural worship influences and mentoring emerging artists in the Christian music scene. This latest release with Thompson is seen as a major milestone in his evolving musical journey.
As “Surely Goodness” reaches new listeners, both artists hope it brings peace, encouragement, and a deeper awareness of God’s presence. “We want people to not just sing it, but believe it,” Ojo said.
