He say make we walk, we dey walk
He say make we blow, we dey blow
He say make we shout, we dey shout

We were still young at the time, and our parents were dead and gone
They got the promise but they didn’t believe God to lead them on
Doubting and murmuring, all these years
Put the Nation on a standstill for forty years
Now a generation is gone, just like that!
And it’s our turn, just like that!
Moses is gone, a new sheriff in town
Joshua is the name, gotta get used to him now
He comes through, says God has spoken:
“We’ll walk round the city, not for one day but seven”
This time o, no room for doubting
Learn from our parents’ mistakes, no doubting
Fully believing, fully believing
Eni gboju l’Oluwa o le pofo (He who puts trust in God cannot fail)
We stay believing
There is a song of heaven, song of the elders
Song of the saints to the King of kings
Song of many waters
Washing like a river
Streams that make glad the City of God (Repeat)
Refrain:
Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord!
For the Lord, God Omnipotent reigns
Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord!
For the Lord, God Omnipotent reigneth (Repeat)
There’s a song of triumph, song of Zion
From the Redeemed who are washed in the Blood
When you hear the singing, and the horn is calling
Lift your voice, and sing in one accord!
(Refrain)
There is a song of heaven, song of the elders
Song of the saints to the King of kings
Song of many waters
Washing like a river
Streams that make glad the City of God
Refrain:
He has taken my sorrows away
He has taken my sorrows away
Hallelujah! Jesus is Lord
Hallelujah! Jesus has won
Hallelujah! Jesus is Lord
He has taken my sorrows away (Repeat)
He has taken my sorrows away
All my pain, all my heartbreak away
Now I’m a winner, I am not a loser
He has paid the price for my sin
No more guilt and shame, oh no
Hallelujah! Jesus is Lord
He has taken my sorrows away
(Refrain)
With You my Father, I’m in order (I’m in order o)
They wan steal my joy, You’ll fill my mouth with laughter
