African Gospel Lyrics

(Languages: English, Yoruba)

Spoken (1 John 1: 5): Hallelujah! For the Lord is good, He is completely good, and there is no evil found in Him. The Lord is light, and there is no darkness found in Him. Mo gbẹkele Yin o (I trust in You).

Oluwa, Oluwa! (Oh Lord, My Lord!)
Mo gbẹkẹle, didara Rẹ (I put my trust in Your Goodness) (Repeat)

Psalm 125:1
Tori awon t′o gbẹkẹ won le Oluwa (Those who trust in the Lord)
Wọn o dabi oke sioni (Are like Mount Zion)
Ti a ko le ṣi ni di (Which cannot be shaken)
Titi lailai lai lai (But endures forever)

Oluwa, Oluwa! (Oh Lord, My Lord!)
Mo gbẹkẹle, didara Rẹ (I put my trust in Your Goodness) (Repeat)

Some trust in horses and chariots
And weapons of war
But I trust on the Name of the Lord
They are brought down and fallen
But I stand upright

Oluwa, Oluwa! (Oh Lord, My Lord!)
Mo gbẹkẹle, didara Rẹ (I put my trust in Your Goodness) (Repeat)

You will never change o
Your nature is good
You are light, there is no darkness found in You
Mo gbẹkẹle didara Rẹ (I put my trust in Your Goodness)

Eyin l’Ọlọrun o, Aleluya! (You are God, Hallelujah!)
Ẹ o le yi pada, Aleluya! (You do not change, Hallelujah!) (Repeat)

Spoken: Do you know the implication of that? He is the same God that the Bible talks about in the beginning.That in the beginning when the earth was null and void, He was the One that said let there be light and there was light. The same God.
The same God that created Adam and Eve. The same God in the time of Noah. The same God that spoke to Abraham. The same God of Isaac. The same God of Jacob. The same God of Elijah. The same God of Elisha. The same God of Daniel.
The same God!
The same God that became flesh; that became Jesus Christ. Same God that died and rose on the third day and took the power from death.
Now this is the amazing thing: He did not change, He did not get better, He did not diminish. Because He is absolute, there’s no better version of Him. He never changes–He is the same yesterday, today and forever. Meanwhile, forevermore:
A o le ri tan (He is inexhaustible) x3
We keep beholding Him from layer to layer; from glory to glory, and we will never exhaust Him.
Ẹ o le yi pada, Aleluya! (You do not change, Hallelujah!)

Eyin l’Ọlọrun o, Aleluya! (You are God, Hallelujah!)
Ẹ o le yi pada, Aleluya! (You do not change, Hallelujah!) (Repeat)

Ẹyin l’Ọlọrun ti mo ka ni Bibeli, Aleluya!  (You are the God I read about in the Bible, Hallelujah!)
Ẹ o le yi pada, Aleluya! (You do not change, Hallelujah!)

Eyin l’Ọlọrun o, Aleluya! (You are God, Hallelujah!)
Ẹ o le yi pada, Aleluya! (You do not change, Hallelujah!) (Repeat)

Oluwa, Oluwa! (Oh Lord, My Lord!)
Mo gbẹkẹle, didara Rẹ (I put my trust in Your Goodness) (Repeat)

Ẹyin nikan l’oye (You are the Only one who understands)
Ohun t′Ẹ fin ṣ’agbara o e (The mystery of Your power)
Ko ma s′ẹni t’o le (There is none that can)
Ba Yin figagbaga o e (Contest with You) (Repeat)

Spoken: See: part of Him being God is the fact that He reserves the right to make some decisions.
In the Bible, He says “I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy on.” That is Mercy is selective.
He sent letter to David, when David wanted to build the temple. He told him that He is not the one that will build it, but his son.
When He was talking about the son, He says, “I will love your son, our relationship will be like Father to son: Such that when he offends, I will reprimand him with love. But I will not take my face away from him, the way I took it away from Saul.”
So, He can decide that you did this one, I will take my face away. But you did this one, I’ve chosen to love you. Because He is God.
And no one can question Him, And that′s why we are here: Because He selected us, and He showed us mercy

Ẹyin nikan l’oye (You are the Only one who understands)
Ohun t′Ẹ fin ṣ’agbara o e (The mystery of Your power)
Ko ma s′ẹni t’o le (There is none that can)
Ba Yin figagbaga o e (Contest with You) (Repeat)

Oluwa, Oluwa! (Oh Lord, My Lord!)
Mo gbẹkẹle, didara Rẹ (I put my trust in Your Goodness) (Repeat)

Eyin l’Ọlọrun o, Aleluya! (You are God, Hallelujah!)
Ẹ o le yi pada, Aleluya! (You do not change, Hallelujah!) (Repeat)

Part of Him being God
Ogbeninija k′ẹru o b’onija (The mighty Defender Who makes the enemy afraid)
Atini l’eyin ma ṣe bẹru (The great and fearless supporter)
You need to understand, when we say Ẹyin l’Ọlọrun Ẹ o le yipada (You are God, You do not change),
Why we need to rejoice in that.
You know there′s a way you tell somebody that, “I’m behind you any trouble wey dey come.”
But when the person brings big trouble, You′ll change your mouth say, “No be me send you, o.”
But God is God, Emi ni ma ṣe bẹru (He is fearless)
No matter the problem that arises, You will meet Him beside. He’s reliable!

Eyin l’Ọlọrun o, Aleluya! (You are God, Hallelujah!)

Ẹ o le yi pada, Aleluya! (You do not change, Hallelujah!) 

Mo le wa ni′waju ogun (I can be at the battlefront)
Kin l’ọ sun si ‘nu ọko (And be at rest)
Tori Ẹyin l′aṣaju ogun (Because You are the Vanguard)
Ẹyin l′agbẹyin ogun (And the Rear Guard in battle)
Ẹ o le yi pada, Aleluya! (You do not change, Hallelujah!) 

Ti wọn ba ni ta l’o n ti mi l′ẹyin (If they ask who is backing me up)
Ma l’Ọba ogo ni (I will answer and say “The King of Glory”)
Ẹ gbe ori yin s′oke ẹyin ẹnu ọna (Lift up your heads, you gates)
Ki a gbe yin s’oke eyin ilekun ayeraye (Be lifted up you ancient doors)
Ki Ọba ogo wo’le wa o (That the King of glory may come in)
Ẹ o le yi pada, Aleluya! (You do not change, Hallelujah!)
