Meaning & Inspiration
“This Kind God Oh” by Gabriel Eziashi and Henrisoul is a praise song in Nigerian Pidgin that marvels at God’s goodness. The chorus asks “which kind God be this,” declares “I never see your type,” and blesses His holy name. The first verse says that in times of trouble the singer’s Father never leaves, and gives strength and power.
The pre-chorus applies a line close to Psalm 121:3-4 to God: Jehovah does not tire, does not sleep, and does not slumber. The second verse speaks of trials, temptation, and confusion, yet says there is no tension because the Father gives protection. A closing scene pictures people gathering from all nations and asking what kind of God this is, which recalls Psalm 67:3-4 and Psalm 96:3.
The lyric is joyful and conversational, and its message is confidence in a God who is unmatched and always protecting.
