Blessed be the name of the Lord
Baruch Hashem Adonai
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Baruch Hashem Adonai
Ad-libs and Exhortations
Lift it up, hey!
We worship You, Lord
Blessed be Your name Jesus
Lift your voice, blessed be Your name
Can somebody just make melody to Him?
(Chants in the Spirit)
Bridge
Family altars are coming back, I’m telling you!
From Asia to Africa, be Your name my God
America to Europe, blessed be, blessed be Your name
Antarctica we sing, blessed be the name of the Lord
Male and female will sing
Young and old we cry out
Family altars we cry out
Our churches will cry out
The children we cry out
Communities will cry out
Revival will break out, they will say blessed be the name of the Lord
On the mountain, in the valley blessed
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Chorus (Reprise)

Meaning & Inspiration
Dunsin Oyekan's "Baruch Hashem Adonai," recorded live with Theophilus Sunday, centers on a Hebrew phrase meaning blessed be the name of the Lord, repeated as the song's core declaration. The chorus states that claim plainly, without argument or narrative, close to the pattern of Psalm 113:2-3, where the Lord's name is blessed from this time forth and forevermore. Ad-libs and spoken exhortations extend that same call outward, asking worshippers to lift their voices and make melody rather than introducing new content.
The bridge widens the scope considerably, naming continents in sequence - Asia, Africa, America, Europe, even Antarctica - as it calls for family altars to return and for every generation, young and old, to join the same cry. That geographic sweep functions less as travelogue than as a way of insisting the declaration applies everywhere at once. The song closes by returning to its opening chorus, letting the same blessing that opened the recording also close it.
