The Nigerian gospel music scene is once again abuzz with praise following the 2025 release of “Promise Keeper”, a powerful new worship anthem by the contemporary music group Sound of Salem, featuring the soulful vocals of Pastor Ogebe.
Released under the group’s independent imprint earlier this week, Promise Keeper is already resonating with audiences across Africa and beyond, combining heartfelt lyrics, stirring instrumentation, and a message rooted in the unwavering faithfulness of God. The song is a declaration of trust and hope, honoring God’s promises through every season of life.
Sound of Salem, known for their deep spiritual soundscapes and energetic live performances, described the track as a “musical altar of remembrance” for believers navigating challenging times. “This song was birthed in a place of prayer,” the group said in a joint statement. “It’s a reminder that God never breaks His word He is the Promise Keeper.”
Featuring Pastor Ogebe, a rising voice in gospel circles with a background in worship leadership and pastoral ministry, the collaboration brings both spiritual depth and vocal richness to the track. His emotive delivery has drawn comparisons to gospel heavyweights, while his lyrics reinforce the theme of unwavering divine faithfulness.
“This isn’t just a song it’s a prophetic sound,” Pastor Ogebe said during a recent interview. “It speaks directly to the hearts of those waiting on God, those holding on to His word through storms.”
Promise Keeper is accompanied by a music video shot in Lagos, capturing moments of reflection, praise, and communal worship. The video’s simple yet powerful visuals echo the song’s message of trust and perseverance.
Already gaining traction on gospel radio and streaming platforms like Boomplay, Apple Music, and Spotify, the single is expected to become a staple in worship settings and gospel concerts throughout the year.

As Sound of Salem continues to evolve as a collective voice for modern worship, Promise Keeper stands as both a milestone and a ministry a song of hope for a world still in need of divine reassurance.
