Lawrence Oyor - My Daddy My Daddy Lyrics
Lyrics
You are my daddy
My daddy, my daddy
Your baby is singing
I will be singing and dancing and chanting for the rest of eternity
My Jesus, My Jesus
Your beloved is singing
I will be singing and dancing and chanting for the rest of eternity
My daddy, my daddy
Your baby is singing
I will be singing and dancing and chanting for the rest of eternity
Only You, Only You
Till we meet only You
Only You
Only You I love
My darling, my darling
Your honey is singing
I will be singing and dancing and chanting for the rest of eternity
La la la la la la La la la la la la La la la la la la La la la la la

Meaning & Inspiration
Lawrence Oyor brought us something raw and deeply intimate in late 2022 when he dropped the single My Daddy My Daddy. It is a rare thing to hear a modern worship song bypass the standard complexities of theological jargon to sit squarely in the lap of a Father. When he cries out, "You are my daddy," he isn’t just grabbing for a title; he is grabbing for a status. This is the heart of what Paul meant in Romans 8:15 when he wrote that we have received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry, "Abba! Father!" Oyor strips away the performance of religiosity and leaves us with the desperate affection of a child who knows exactly who they belong to.
The way he pivots from calling God "Daddy" to "My Jesus" highlights a crucial mystery of our faith—that the Creator of the stars is the same One who walked the dust of Galilee to bring us back home. In the verse where he sings, "Your beloved is singing," he draws on the imagery of the Song of Solomon. It is the language of covenant love, the kind that demands a response of total devotion. When he claims he will be singing, dancing, and chanting for the rest of eternity, he is tapping into the reality of the throne room described in Revelation, where the saints never cease to offer praise. The rhythm of his song isn't just about melody; it is about an orientation of the soul that refuses to look anywhere else.
By calling himself "Your honey," Oyor leans into a bold, poetic intimacy that many Christians are afraid to touch. He is describing the soul-satisfying sweetness of a relationship with the Bridegroom. This isn't cold duty; this is the fire of a love that has been set free. When the lyrics insist, "Only You, only You," we see the narrow road Jesus talked about in Matthew 7. It is a rejection of the idols that clutter our lives, choosing instead the singular focus of the gaze of God. This song reminds us that the primary occupation of the human spirit isn't to work for God, but to exist in the warmth of His presence, unashamedly loving the One who loved us first. Stop trying to prove your worth to a God who already calls you His child and start resting in the identity that cost Him everything.
