Ada Ehi - Only You Lyrics
Lyrics
Only You can do what no man can do Only You can say what no man can say Only You can change any situation at all Only You are able, Daddy Only you are capable, Jehovah
You are doing the same today Just You walked the streets of Galilee And like you healed the sick and raised the dead Like You saved Lazarus; comfort, comfort You are doing the same today Oh God my promoter, Jesus my promoter Opening every door, Fighting all my battles Healing the broken heartache You are doing the same today
Only You can do what no man can do Only You can say what no man can say Only You can change any situation at all Only You are able, Daddy Only you are capable, Jehovah
Say He is capable The Resurrection, and the life Jesus, Jesus! The Son Of God, the Word of God Jesus only You can, make the blind to see Jesus Jesus only You can, make the lame to walk again Jesus Jesus only You can, make the dead to rise up Jesus Jesus my promoter; Jesus!
Only You can do what no man can do
Only You can say what no man can say
Only You can change any situation at all
Only You are able, Daddy
Only you are capable, Jehovah

ADA EHI - ONLY YOU JESUS
Meaning & Inspiration
Ada Ehi’s hit track, which arrived on July 25, 2016, as part of the Only You Jesus - Single project, captures the essence of a soul deeply anchored in the character of God. It is easy to get caught up in the rhythm, but when you stop to listen, you realize this is a bold declaration of divine sovereignty. The lyrics move past mere sentimentality to root themselves in the reality that God is not a distant deity but a present, active force. When she sings that only He can do what no man can do, she echoes the spirit of Isaiah 40:18, where the prophet asks who can compare to the Lord. Human effort hits a ceiling every single day, but the God of the Bible knows no such limits.
The theology here hits home because it connects the historical accounts of the Gospels to our current reality. By mentioning that He walks the streets today just as He walked in Galilee, the song bridges the gap between ancient miracles and modern desperation. This is the Christ of Hebrews 13:8, the same yesterday, today, and forever. Whether it is healing the sick or raising the dead, Ada points toward the unchanging nature of the Savior. She identifies Him as the Resurrection and the Life, pulling directly from John 11:25. It is a powerful reminder that the same authority used to call Lazarus from the tomb is the very authority currently operating in the lives of those who cry out to Him.
There is a specific, intimate warmth in calling God "Daddy," which leans into the adoption we receive through the Spirit, allowing us to cry out "Abba" as Romans 8:15 promises. Calling Him Jehovah is more than a title; it is a recognition of His covenant-keeping nature. When the lyrics claim He is the one opening doors and fighting battles, we see the echoes of the warrior-God found in Exodus 14:14, who tells His people to be still while He fights for them. This is not a song about what we can accomplish; it is a confession of what only He can perform. By framing Jesus as the ultimate promoter, the song humbles the listener, shifting focus away from personal ambition and toward the one who orchestrates our steps. It leaves us with the stark truth that when we reach the end of our own capability, we have only just arrived at the beginning of His power.
