Churches often incorporate it during solemn moments, such as call-to-worship, communion, or reflective prayer, due to its meditative tone and rich Yoruba expressions of devotion. The song is also favored in personal devotion, especially among Christians who enjoy slow, contemplative worship music that fosters introspection. Its presence on social media and worship livestreams has further strengthened its role as a soundtrack for quiet spiritual reflection and communal worship alike.
