Verse 1:
When I think upon your goodness;
And Your faithfulness each day
I’m convinced it’s not because I am worthy –
to receive the kind of love that You give.
But I’m grateful for your mercy,
and I’m grateful for your grace
And because of how You’ve poured out Yourself,
I have come to sing this song out in praise

Refrain:
Imela, Imela (Thank You! Thank You!)
Okaka, Onyekeruwa (Great and Might creator of the world)
Imela, Imela, (Thank You! Thank You!)
Eze m Oh (My King)

Verse 2:
Who am I to sing Your praises?
Who am I to worship You?
It’s Your blood that makes the difference in me
And made a way to enter into Your throne
I could not come near Your presence
I could never sing Your song
But the sacrifice on Calvary’s tree
is the reason I can cry out today

(Refrain)

Onyedikagi? Ekene diri gi(Who is like You? All Glory belongs to You)
Onyene mema (He who does good)
Onyedikagi? Ekene diri gi (Who is like You? All Glory belongs to You)
Onye nagworia (Mighty Healer)
(Repeat)

(Refrain)

Ko Le Baje (Can Never Be Destroyed) Lara George

3 Comments



(Sung in Yoruba)

//Note: Ko le baje = Can never be destroyed
Ko ni daru = There should be no confusion

Chorus:
Ise t’Oluwa se o ah (Ko le baje) [The work of God (Can never be destroyed)]
And all that’s lovely in your life (Ko ni daru)
When it seems like all has ended know (Ko le baje)
Ko le baje, ko le baje o (Ko le baje)
Ko ni daru, ko ni daru o (ko le baje) (repeat)

Sittin’ by my window, Thinkin’ about my life
It seems so empty, Is it all a lie
Needin’ some answers, Needin’ reasons why
The road is so rough, Feelin’ like I just might die (but)

(Chorus)

One day, one day, One day, I know I’ll sing a song
Know I’ll tell a story, a song of praise
I’ll sing, of how I was delivered – How I came from misery to ecstasy
(Repeat)

(Chorus)

Kole mo’le, ko’le mo’le
Continuous blessings one after the other.
Bi’mo rere, bi’mo rere
The joy of having many children.
Ire owo l’odun mo’dun
The blessings of money year after year.
Ayo m’ayo titi aye
My joy will multiply.
Gbogbo ire mi ko ni daru o
My blessings/favors will never ever end
Ko le baje
(Can never be destroyed)

(Chorus)
