Pre-Song:
Oh God of Abraham, Isaac, David and my family
Ruler of the universe we have come to give you all the praise today
And we declare that from generation to generation
Thou art God forevermore

The heavens declare, Your power and royalty
Lord You reign
King of all ages, You are the Ancient of days
Lord You reign
Your throne is established, In justice and righteousness
Lord You reign
Great are You Lord, And greatly to be praised
Lord You reign
We cry Holy, Holy, is our God
Let Your glory, glory, fill this place

Arugbo Ojo (The Ancient of Days) x2

Twale (Worship) Lyrics by Flo (Florocka)

If I was an eagle: I would lift myself, spread my wings and fly
If I was a lion: I would run into the jungle,  and give the loudest growl
And if I was the sun: Yes I would rise early in the morning
And shine my light so bright
If was an angel, I would sound the alarm
For the whole of creation to bow at your feet

Refrain:
Kabiyesi Oluwa run (Almighty God)
I have come to give you twale (To give you twale)
To give you worship (To give you worship)

If I was a little child, I would sing and shout for joy
If I was a stallion oh, I would use my horsepower
If I was a shining star, I would illuminate everywhere
And if I was the son of a governor,
I would make everybody troway (give a) salute o
And if I could control the times, I would go back to the garden of Eden
I would give you the worship that only you deserve
I would look for beautiful names like
Alade Wura o (Your Crown is of pure Gold)
Yes I will go on soun and patewo iye gbe oruko re ga o (..?..)

(Refrain)

Only a fool would look into the heavens and say there is no God
Only a mad man will look into the seas and claim that the fishes are a mistake
Even the Babaaláwos (diviners) can testify that there is only one Jehovah
So who are you to tell me that my Yahweh,
My Tsidkenu (righteousness) doesn’t exist
He is a consuming fire o, He is the lion of the tribe of Judah
He alone I shall serve for the rest of my days

(Refrain)

Papa /Daddy O, wetin na don’t do? (pdg: What can’t you do?)
You bless me, my life you make better
