Dunsin Oyekan - Worship Your Maker Lyrics

“Worship Your Maker” by Dunsin Oyekan is a spontaneous worship piece that begins with the limits of speech. The opening lines say that God is more than words can say and more than the mind can grasp, and that there is a place where words and reasoning cannot go. That place is described as the presence of God Himself.

Because words fall short, the singer decides to loose his spirit to express worship. The rest of the song is a long, steady chant: “Oh my spirit, worship your Maker.” The repetition works as an invitation to the soul to take over where explanation ends, and the short bridge simply repeats “Oh my spirit, worship.”

The call to the soul is close to Psalm 103:1 and Psalm 95:6, which tell the worshipper to bless the Lord and to bow before the Maker. The idea of a worship beyond understanding is also close to Philippians 4:7. The song is slow, meditative and made to be sung until the room settles.
