Meaning & Inspiration
“Imela (Come and See What the Lord Has Done)” by Esther Liana is a testimony of thanks in English, Igbo and Nigerian Pidgin. It opens by inviting people to come and see what the Lord has done, and “Imela” means thank you. The first verse asks how the singer can repay God’s goodness, then says He turned mourning into dancing and pain into gain.
The second verse names God as Jehovah Jireh and mighty in battle, and it repeats that what He has done will be permanent, including healing and blessing. The third verse is a simple offering of praise for the wonderful things done. The fourth uses Pidgin to ask what the singer can give in return, and it points to Christ who died on the cross and shed His blood.
The lyrics are close to Psalm 116:12, Psalm 30:11 and Psalm 139:14. The chorus invites others to come and see, and the outro affirms that the singer is beautiful, wonderful and fearfully made.
