During that terrifying moment of sudden descent, Tabi’s initial response was automatic surrender and mutterings of “Jesus” and “Thank You Lord.” He recalls, “I was thanking God, but not because of what was happening.”

Tabi transforms a very vulnerable moment into a worship song with the release of “Thank You Lord”. He calls the song his testimony, which serves as a constant reminder of God’s unfailing mercy and the profound gratitude it requires.

“Soldier’s salute to a faithful God”, Tabi’s single, aims to inspire listeners to reflect on their own experiences of divine intervention and to express gratitude for life, purpose, and grace—especially in the midst of internal and external conflict.

Ernest Abebe’s “Thank You Lord” is the latest single to be added to Tabi’s discography, which already consists of six singles. For the past 18 months, he has been actively releasing “God-given music”.

In addition to his musical endeavours, he is the organiser of the annual “Love2Worship” event, which promotes love and obedience to God through music and friendship.

Tabi urges everyone to seek knowledge of the Almighty in order to live a fulfilled life, as she continues to advocate for a life lived in love and obedience to God.
