Meaning & Inspiration
“Believers Anthem” by Frank Edwards is a Nigerian praise song that mixes English, Pidgin, and Igbo. The opening says that as the singer goes and comes, as he sleeps and works, the name of Jesus is in his mouth and in his mind. The chorus then lists what that name is: great, mighty, kind, loving, and bigger than what people say.
The refrain calls the name of Jesus holy and repeats it. This is close to Philippians 2:9-10 on the name above every name, and Proverbs 18:10 on the name of the Lord as a strong tower. A later section addresses Jehovah and says the singer wants to sing his praise and offer a salute, with Igbo lines that praise God as the owner of all.
The verse offers life and trust: “You are the mighty in battle,” “You are the Most High God,” and “You no dey fail.” The song is a lively declaration of confidence in Jesus.
