Dunsin Oyekan - Sing Over Me Lyrics
Lyrics
I know
That worship is about the song
You want to hear
Not the one I want to sing
I'm here so You can sing over me
And I'll sing it back to You
I know
That worship is about the song
You want to hear
Not the one I want to sing
I'm here so You can sing over me
And I'll sing it back to You
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
I worship in Spirit and Truth
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
I worship in Spirit and Truth
Oh Lord my God
How great You are
You are more than words can say
More than what my mind can grasp
Oh Lord my God
How great You are
You are more than words can say
More than what my mind can grasp
Oh Lord my God
How great You are
You are more than words can say
More than what my mind can grasp
Oh Lord my God
How great You are
You are more than words can say
More than what my mind can grasp
Oh Lord my God
How great You are
You are more than words can say
More than what my mind
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
I worship in Spirit and Truth
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
I worship in Spirit and Truth
Oh Lord my God
How great You are
You are more than words can say
More than what my mind can grasp
Oh Lord my God
How great You are
You are more than words can say
More than what my mind can grasp

Meaning & Inspiration
Dunsin Oyekan's powerful anthem, "Sing Over Me," released in 2024 as part of "The Great Commission" album, transcends mere musical expression to become a profound declaration of surrendered worship. At its core, the song articulates a fundamental truth often overlooked in our personal expressions of faith: that worship is primarily God-centered, not human-centered. Oyekan lays bare the realization that the songs we offer in praise are not about showcasing our vocal talents or crafting the perfect melody, but about aligning our hearts with the divine desires of God, with the melody He wishes to hear. This intentional shift in perspective mirrors the scriptural call to offer sacrifices of praise, as stated in Hebrews 13:15, "Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to his name." The song’s narrative is one of humble submission, of an individual positioning themselves to receive God's divine song, His breath, His inspiration, upon their life, only to then echo it back in adoration. This exchange is the essence of true spiritual communion, a dynamic where God’s presence ignites our worship.
The profound meaning of "Sing Over Me" resonates deeply with the biblical understanding of worship being offered in "spirit and truth," a concept Jesus Himself introduced to the Samaritan woman at the well in John 4:24. Oyekan’s repeated affirmation of this principle underscores a worship that is authentic, uninhibited by mere ritual, and deeply rooted in an intimate, spiritual connection with God. The lyrical journey then gracefully pivots to an awe-inspired contemplation of God's immensity. The repeated declarations of "Oh Lord my God, How great You are" and "You are more than words can say, More than what my mind can grasp" are echoes of Psalms like Psalm 145:3, which exclaims, "Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom." This segment of the song serves as a powerful reminder that our attempts to articulate God’s glory are inherently limited by human capacity. It’s a call to acknowledge that our comprehension of the Almighty will always fall short, yet it is in this very acknowledgment that true worship blossoms – in recognizing His sovereign, unfathomable nature. The cyclical structure, weaving the affirmation of worship in spirit and truth with the exclamations of God's greatness, creates a meditative and transformative experience, encouraging listeners to move beyond their own self-expression and embrace a worship that flows from and returns to the Divine Source, a testament to the album's broader theme of fulfilling the Great Commission through genuine devotion.
