Meaning & Inspiration
EmmaOMG's powerful rendition, "E Ti Tobi to (Great Are You)," released on August 11, 2024, featuring The OhEmGee Choir, @pelumi.deborah, and @Officialbbo, is a profound declaration of God's immeasurable greatness, deeply rooted in Scripture and delivered with fervent worship. The song's central message echoes the Psalmist's cry, "Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised" (Psalm 96:4), underscoring that God's magnitude transcends human comprehension and even the vastness of creation. The opening verses immediately establish this sovereignty, proclaiming that God reigns over all nations, a theme found throughout the Old Testament, such as in Psalm 47:7, "For God is the King of all the earth; sing praise with a psalm." The lyrics urge listeners to praise His name, for it is indeed "great and full of awe," a sentiment beautifully captured in Psalm 111:9, which speaks of God's name being "holy and awesome."
The song masterfully builds upon this foundation by illustrating the awe-inspiring power of God's name. The declaration that "the whole world is trembling at mention of His name" and that "the heavens are declaring, prostrating before His throne" isn't mere poetic license; it's a direct reflection of biblical imagery. Isaiah 45:23 states, "By myself I have sworn; from my mouth in righteousness has it gone forth, a word that shall not return: to me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear." Similarly, Revelation 4:10-11 describes the twenty-four elders falling down before Him who sits on the throne and worshiping Him who lives forever and ever, casting their crowns before the throne, saying, "Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created." The recurring refrain, "Eti tobi to oo Jesuuuuu," meaning "You are great Jesus," serves as a simple yet potent anchor, reinforcing the core truth that Jesus, as God incarnate, embodies this divine greatness.
Further contemplation of the song's lyrics reveals a rich tapestry of divine attributes. The comparison of God's glory and honor to mountains, stating He is "greater than the mighty mountains," evokes passages like Psalm 36:5, "Your steadfast love, O Lord, extends to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds. Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains, your judgments are like a great deep." The profound truth of Jesus' resurrection is highlighted as the act that saves us from impending wrath, a cornerstone of Christian faith articulated in Romans 1:4, "and through the Spirit of holiness by resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord." The mention of God dwelling "among the cherubim, full of power and might" directly references the Ark of the Covenant and God's manifest presence in the Holy of Holies, as described in Exodus 25:22.
The song's progression moves from universal worship to more specific affirmations of Jesus’ role in salvation and His inherent power. The imagery of the Jordan River parting and the sea making way directly alludes to the miraculous interventions of God in the Old Testament, orchestrated through His chosen leaders, but here attributed directly to Jesus' authority, underscoring His divine nature. Verses that speak of "endless glory," "endless life," and Jesus being "our hope" and "our reward" resonate with the New Testament promises of eternal life and the blessings awaiting believers, as stated in John 14:2, "In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?" The song also acknowledges the supremacy of Christ, with lines like "There is none like You, none greater," a sentiment central to the Shema, "Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one" (Deuteronomy 6:4), and a concept repeatedly affirmed in the New Testament regarding Jesus' unique divinity. The final declarations of worship, with the choir singing "They worship for the Savior," beautifully encapsulate the ultimate purpose of this declaration of greatness: to spur a response of reverence and adoration for the one who is truly great.
