Afri-tune Week 162 || Song Cover: Iba by Dunsin Oyekan and Nathaniel Bassey

Happy new week everyone

It's so good to be here again, I'm @pretemi and I'm delighted to sing a cover of the song Iba.

This song as been a blessing to me, it helps me to think deeply of how wonderful God has been showing up for me in the worst moments of my life even when all hope has been lost. God is indeed faithful and His ways are not our ways.

I'm so grateful to God for being an amazing father to me and I can't but give thanks to him.
Please join me as I reference my God🙇

Lyrics:

Blessed art Thou, Son of David
Blessed art Thou, root of Jesse
Blessed art Thou, Son of David
Blessed art thou, root of Jesse

You are eminently glorious
Immaculately beautiful
I can go on and on
On and on
But my words are not enough
My vocabularies will fail me
But permit me to cry out

Iba o, iba o-o, iba
Iba o, iba
Iba o, iba
Iba o-o, iba
Iba o-o-o, iba

Blessed art Thou, Rock of ages
Blessed art Thou
Blessed art Thou, King of Heaven
Blessed art Thou, Rock of ages
Blessed art Thou
Blessed art Thou, King of Heaven

You are infinitely powerful
Magnificently wonderful
I can go on and on
And on, and on, and on, and on
But my words are not enough (they're not enough)
My vocabularies they fail me (they always fail me)
Permit me to bring this song of victory

Iba o, iba, iba
Iba o, iba (ah, atofarati)
Iba o, iba (Orọmọniṣẹfayati)
Iba o-o, iba (iba, iba)
Iba o, iba (iba, iba)
Iba o, iba (to the one who sing on the floor)
Iba o, iba (iba o-o-o)

Iba o, iba (iba o-o-o)
Iba o, iba (King of kings, Lord of lords)
Iba o, iba (Faithful One, righteous One)
Iba o, iba (Iba o-o-o)
Iba o, iba (I bow in all Your Power)
(Iba) iba o, iba (that's why You're faithful) iba

You tell the wind how hard to blow (ah, ah, ah)
And tell the rain how much to fall
You laid the pathway for the lightning (ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
Those who are wise will worship You
You are cloth with Jasmine Splendor (ah, ah, ah)

And wrapped in blistering Light (mm-mm)
There's no limit to Your power (ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
Those who are wise will honor You

Iba o, iba (iba o)
Iba o, iba (my God and my Father)
Iba o, iba (I pour my heart in words)
Iba o, iba
Iba o, iba (just to say iba o, iba)
Iba o, iba (there's no one like You, Jesus)
Iba o, iba (there's no one like You, my Father)
(They can never be one like You) iba o, iba (worthy is the Lamb)
Iba o, iba (who are slain to receive power)

Iba o, iba (and righteous, and wisdom)
(And strenght and honour) iba o, iba
(And glory, and blessing) iba o, iba
(We worship You, jesus) iba o, iba
(We bow before Your throne) iba o, iba
(Just to say one thing)
(This one thing) iba o, iba (iba o)
(Iba) iba o, iba
That's why we've come to say iba (that's what we've come to do)
