Lyrics

Verse 1


You have been faithful
More than just faithful
From my cradle days
Till this very hour
And I know You will
You will be with me
Till the very end


Chorus


Ubangiji (Sovereign God)
Yesu (Jesus)
Nabaka godiya (I give You thanks)
Sarkin duniya (The King of all the Earth)
Nagode (Thank You)


Spoken Interlude


Are there grateful people in this house
Lift your hands and bless Him
God of my journey
I remember how You saved me
I remember how You took me out
Lift your hands and declare


Verse 1 (Reprise)


You have been faithful
More than just faithful
From my cradle days
Till this very hour
And I know You will
You will be with me
Till the very end


Chorus


Ubangiji (Sovereign God)
Yesu (Jesus)
Nabaka godiya (I give You thanks)
Sarkin duniya (The King of all the Earth)
Nagode (Thank You)


Verse 2


Alpha and Omega
And everything between
I'll raise my banner
For My Ebenezer
Sarkin duniya (The King of all the Earth)
Nagode (Thank You)


Spoken Interlude


Now let the band prophesy
Release your worship
Release your praise
Thank Him
In You I live
In You I move
In You I have my being
You have been faithful
You have been so good to me
My Helper
My Father
My Lifter
My Buckler, My Healer, My Deliverer
When your father and your mother forsake you
He will pick you up
You are the friend that sticks closer than a brother
Jesus, I'm talking about you
I'm talking about you my father
I'm talking about you
I know what you've done for me


Bridge


You've been faithful Lord
From the ages past
That is why Your name
Is forever more


Chorus


Ubangiji (Sovereign God)
Yesu (Jesus)
Nabaka godiya (I give You thanks)
Sarkin duniya (The King of all the Earth)
Nagode (Thank You)


Bridge (Reprise)


You've been faithful Lord
From the ages past
That is why Your Name
Is forever more


Chorus


Ubangiji (Sovereign God)
Yesu (Jesus)
Nabaka godiya (I give You thanks)
Sarkin duniya (The King of all the Earth)
Nagode (Thank You)


Spoken Interlude


Can you take the next 60 seconds and thank Him
Thank Him for the things He's done
Look back and remember (x3)
When you were in school, Look back
On Campus, you had no one to come through for you
The devil thought if he took out your father
Or he took out your parent
He was going to stunt your progress
But had they known, they wouldn't have crucified the Lord of glory
What the enemy meant for evil
Your God, my God
He has turned it around for good
(x2)
What the enemy meant for evil
God has turned it around
He turned it around


Vamp


He turned it He turned it (x8)


Chorus


Ubangiji (Sovereign God)
Yesu (Jesus)
Nabaka godiya (I give You thanks)
Sarkin duniya (The King of all the Earth)
Nagode (Thank You)
