African Gospel Lyrics

(Languages: English, Yoruba)

Who am I, that He’s mindful of me?
Who am I, that He calls me His own?
No height, no depth can separate this Love
Who am I, that He’s mindful of me? (Repeat)

Emi ni ayanfe olodumare (I am God’s beloved)
Ofe mi (He Loves me)
Koseni to le yi pada (And no one can change that)
Ofe mi denu denu, tokan tokan (He loves me wholeheartedly,  unconditionally)
Ko ma seni to le yi pada (No one can change that)
Oyan mi fe (He chose me)
Kose da alaye to le yi pada (No human can ever change that)
Oun ni baba mi (He’s my Father)
Ayan fe mi (My Beloved)

Whenever I call on him
Ko fo ro mi jafara (He doesn’t take my matter lightly)
Whenever I run to him
Ko fo ro mi jafara (He doesn’t take my matter lightly)

There is no one that can show me the love that my Father shows me
Take a look at me
And see His Goodness and see His Mercies
Have you ever heard that my God failed before?
He’s the bright and morning star
He’s the bright and morning star

Emi ni mo ṣe èṣe yìí (I am the one who committed this sin)
Ìwọ lo jìyà yìí, Olórun mi (But my God You are the one who suffered for it)
O ní Jacob ni mo fẹ́, (You said, “Jacob I have loved)
Esau ni mo kọ́rìíra( Esau I have hated”)

Emi fúnra mi mọ pé ó fẹ́ràn mi (I personally know that He loves me)
Nítorí ẹ lo ṣe kú fún mi (That is why You died for me)
Ó kùkú orò ọ̀fi yen gbé mi ró (It is purely by grace that You lifted me up)
Mi ò tún ṣe ẹrú mọ, o  (I am no longer a slave)
Ṣé lo rà mí padà (You redeemed me)
Tó sọ mí di ọmọ (And made me Your child)

This love is generational
Bàbá mi jẹ́ níbẹ̀, Màmá mi jẹ́ níbẹ̀ (My father was part of it, my mother was part of it)
Emi gan jẹ́ níbẹ̀ (I am also part of it)
Àrọmọ d’ọmọ mi, a jẹ́ níbẹ̀ (From my children to their children, we will be part of it)
Mo ti gòkè òdò, (I have crossed the river)
Afárá ìfẹ́ yìí ò sì lè já  (This bridge of love cannot be broken)
Torí àwọn tó ń bọ lẹ́yìn mi a jẹ́ níbẹ̀ o (Because those coming after me will also be part of it)

Repeat: Refrain
Ìbéèrè mi ni pé, tani mi? (My question is: who am I?)
Tani ìran mi o (tani ìran mi) (Who is my generation?)
