Nathaniel Bassey, the Nigerian gospel singer, on Monday, ministered at the presidential inaugural prayer breakfast of Donald Trump in Washington DC.
The event, held after Trump was sworn in as the 47th president of the United States, is a non-official and non-governmental gathering, focusing on intercessory prayers and spiritual support for the incoming administration of Trump and Vice President JD Vance.
Bassey, who was invited to minister to the guests, delivered a powerful rendition of his song ‘Take the Stage’.
Through his music, he prayed for Jesus to guide the White House and for God’s glory to be manifested in the nation.
His heartfelt prayer also sought satisfaction for American citizens, asking God to make them His vessels.
“Please take the glory/ I’m satisfied/ Just to see you glorified/ Take the nation Lord and have your way/ We’re just your vessel/ And nothing more/ We’re satisfied/ Just to see you glorified/ Jesus, take the White House/ And have your way/ We’re just your vessels and nothing more/ When you’re done moving this nation/ Please take the glory/ We’re satisfied just to see you glorified,” he sings.
Bassey is a pastor, trumpeter, and songwriter popularly known for his songs ‘Imela’, ‘Onise Iyanu’, and ‘Olowogbogboro’.
He has established himself as one of the prominent gospel ministers in Nigeria.
