(Sung in Yoruba)
Ijoba orun, l’ere onigbagbo o (The kingdom of Heaven is the believer’s reward)
Ijoba orun, l’ere onigbagbo o (The kingdom of Heaven is the believer’s reward)
Ma je’n ku’na baba, mu mi de’le o (Father don’t let me miss it, take me there)
Ma je’n ku’na baba, mu mi de’le o (Father don’t let me miss it, take me there)
Owo ti mo ni, Ko le mu mi de’le o (All the money I have, cannot get me to this home)
Moto ti mo ri ra, Ko le wa mi de’le o (The car I have cannot drive me to this home)
Ore ti mo ni, ko le fi mi de’le o (The friends I have cannot escort me to this home)
Gbo gbo iwe ti mo ri ka,… (All the books I have can’t guide me to this home)
Ma je’n ku’na baba, mu mi de’le o (Don’t let me miss the way father, get me home)
Kin ma ku sa’jo bi eefin, mu mi de’le o (Don’t fade like smoke along the way, get me home)
Aye loja, orun ni ile, mu mi de’le o (The world is a market place, Heaven is where home is)
Aye loja, orun ni ile, mu mi de’le o (The world is a market place, Heaven is where home is)
Mu mi de’le o…(Take me there)…
Ijoba orun, l’ere onigbagbo o (The kingdom of Heaven is the believer’s reward)
Ijoba orun, l’ere onigbagbo o (The kingdom of Heaven is the believer’s reward)
Ma je’n ku’na baba, mu mi de’le o (Father don’t let me miss it, take me there)
