Afritunes week #20 | Will Adiks - Ike Nile (cover by @stefanovah)

Hello Afritunes, how're y'all doing? I've been away from this community for some weeks having had what appears to be some misconceptions..... Anyway, I'm back to engaging posts in the community and trying to make a good entry.

I did a deep song of worship in English and Igbo language by the late Will Adiks, a gospel music artiste in Rivers State who was murdered years ago.... I hope you like it.

 LYRICS

[Verse 1]

You gave instructions, to stretch the rod
You uttered the words, the sea was parted
You made a way where there was no way
Obinigwe (You who live in the heavens)
Ezemo (My King)
You struck the rock, and water gushed out
The thirsty drank from it, and there was so much joy
I dont know how to exalt you ezemo

Obinigwe (You who live in the heavens),
Ezemo (My King),
Ezemo (My King),
Ezemo (My King),
Ezemo (My King),
Ezemo (My King)
I dont know how to exalt you ezemo (My King)
Obinigwe (You who lives in the heavens)
Ezemo (My King)

[Chorus]
Ikenile di naka gi, Chukwu mo
Ikenile di naka gi, Obinigwe
Ikenile di naka gi, Ezemo, Ezemo
(Chorus meaning)
All power is in your hands, My God
All power is in your hands, You who lives in the Heavens
All power is in your hands, My King, My King

[Verse 2]
The cross was too heavy, but you carried it for me
The pains were too much, Lord you took them for me
Your blood was just for you, but you gave it for me
and I couldnt pay my debt, Chimo (My God), You paid it for me
Ikenile di naka gi, Chukwu mo
Ikenile di naka gi, Obinigwe
Ikenile di naka gi, Ezemo, Ezemo

Chukwu mo, Chukwu mo
background repeat
Bridge and Adlibs
Chukwu Mo, (My God)
Chimara obimo o (God who knows my heart)
Obinigwe (Who lives in the Heavens)
Onye na bia Ozor (He who is coming again)
isi ike ndu (Head of life)
Onye di kagi (Who is there like thee?)
Eze ndi Eze (King of Kings)
Odum ebe Judah (Lion of Judah)
Odogwu na agha (Mighty in Battle)
Ohhhhh
Mmalite na ogwugu (Alpha & Omega)
Olisa bi nigwe (God who lives in Heaven)

Chimara obimo (God who knows my heart)
Jesus!!!!
We dont know how to exalt you ezemo } 4x
We dont know how to exalt you ezemo } repeat
Agadagba juru uzor mo (He who holds my way)
Eze ndi Eze (King of Kings)
Agu ne che mba mo (the lion-that-guards-my-city)
Obinigwe, Obinigwe (You dwell in heaven)
We dont know how to exalt you ezemo
