Meaning & Inspiration
“Finger of God” by Dunsin Oyekan is a short song of testimony that gives credit to God for everything. The lyric says, “It’s not by my power and it’s not by might,” and admits, “I’m not that intelligent, but for grace.” The singer does not claim talent or strength as the source of what he has.
When people ask him about it, his answer is simple: “This is the finger of God in my life.” The wording is close to Zechariah 4:6, “Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit,” and the phrase “finger of God” recalls Exodus 8:19 and Luke 11:20, where it points to God’s direct action.
The closing lines, “I am all I am, and it is by His grace,” echo 1 Corinthians 15:10. The song is brief and repetitive, built to be sung as a humble confession of dependence on God.
