Tim Godfrey featuring Blessyn's song 'Jigidem' is a Nigerian gospel track that calls on Jesus to uphold and strengthen the believer. Sung primarily in Igbo with English translation, the lyrics express dependence on God's power to run life's race and overcome through Christ's victory. The repeated plea 'Jigidem' (uphold me) and request for daily strength reflect a theme of reliance on divine support to avoid falling. The song is a prayerful declaration of faith, asking God to sustain the singer in every challenge.
