Ko ma si, ko ma si o (There is none, There’s none oh)
Ko ma si eni ti o dabi re Oba mi o (There’s no one like you my Lord)
Iberu ko si, ko si fun mi o (I have no fear, I have no fear in me)
Nitori iwo nikan soso l’oba mi, l’ojo gbogbo (For you alone are forever my Lord)

Refrain:
There’s nobody like you Lord
There’s nobody like our God
There’s nobody like You Lord
Like You Lord, like our God

Igbati, igbati o, Igbati omije ba n bo o (When my tears overwhelm me)
Mo mo ‘pe iwo l’abo o (I know that you are my refuge)
Iberu ko si, ko si fun mi o (I have no fear, I have no fear in me)
Nitori iwo nikan soso l’oba mi, l’ojo gbogbo (For you alone are,  forever my Lord)

(Refrain)

When I searched the highest mountains; looked for You in deepest valley
Searched the rivers; small and shallow; deep and wide o, broad and narrow
I realized there is no one like you; In the earth and in the skies too
Ko ma si, ko si no-one like you, No one, No one

(Refrain)

So I lift Your Name up higher
Celebrate You louder
Lift your Name up higher
I’ll sing it louder and shout it higher (repeat)

(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)
