Nathaniel Bassey - Ndum (My Life) Lyrics
Lyrics
I belong to Jesus
Hundred percent
Satan has no right
He has no share
He has no stake in this life
Hallelujah
Ndum bu nke Chineke (My life belongs to God)
Ihe nile nkem nwere (Everything that I have)
Jesus nani gi ribe otuto (Jesus only you deserve the praise)
Ekwensu enweghi ike n'ebemno (The devil does not have power where I am)
Abum nwa nke Chukwu (I am a Child of God)
Jesus nani gi ribe otuto (Jesus only you deserve the praise)
Ndum bu nke Chineke (My life belongs to God)
Ihe nile nkem nwere (Everything that I have)
Jesus nani gi ribe otuto (Jesus only you deserve the praise)
Ekwensu enweghi ike n'ebemno (The devil does not have power where I am)
Abum nwa nke Chukwu (I am a Child of God)
Jesus nani gi ribe otuto (Jesus only you deserve the praise)
Onye inye aka, Chinwedum
(The one who helps me, the God who owns my life)
Onye nwem, Eze
(The one that owns me, King)
Jesus bu isi ike ndum o (The strength of my life)
Ndum bu nke Chineke (My life belongs to God)
Ihe nile nkem nwere (Everything that I have)

Ndum bu nke nmuo ka nmuo
(My life belongs to the spirit that is greater than all spirits)
Eze ndi nmuo (The king of spirits)

Oke ikuku, ikuku n'atu egwu
(The great wind that other winds are afraid of)

NDUM (MY LIFE) / NATHANIEL BASSEY FEAT. M & REVELATION
Meaning & Inspiration
Nathaniel Bassey’s 2022 release, "Ndum (My Life)," featured on the album *Names of God*, is a powerful declaration of faith and divine ownership. The song’s genesis is rooted in a profound understanding of God's sovereignty, as articulated in the Igbo language and English, affirming that one's life is wholly dedicated to Him. This message resonates deeply with the biblical truth found in Romans 14:8, which states, "For if we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord." The song powerfully dismisses any claim of the enemy, a sentiment echoed in 1 John 5:18, which assures us that "We know that anyone born of God does not continue to sin; the One who was born of God keeps him safe, and the evil one cannot harm him." Bassey's declaration, "I belong to Jesus, hundred percent," is a bold confession of surrender, recognizing that our existence, possessions, and very breath are gifts from God, as highlighted in Acts 17:28, "For in him we live and move and have our being." The repeated affirmation, "Ndum bu nke Chineke," meaning "My life belongs to God," is a direct application of biblical stewardship principles, where everything we are and have is entrusted to us by our Creator. The song's profound understanding of God's might is further amplified by titles like "Chinwedum," signifying "The God who owns my life," and "Eze ndi eze," "King of kings," underscoring the supreme authority of Jesus Christ, as seen in Revelation 19:16. Bassey's lyrical content is a testament to the scriptural assurance found in Psalm 23:1, "The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing," as the song proclaims Jesus as the "strength of my life." The spiritual authority invoked, particularly the imagery of "The spirit that is greater than all spirits" and "The king of spirits," directly references the omnipotence of God, who is indeed supreme over all spiritual forces, as confirmed in Ephesians 1:20-21. "Ndum (My Life)" is not merely a song; it is an anointed anthem of unwavering devotion, a profound reminder that in Christ, our lives are secured, our purpose is divinely ordained, and all praise is rightfully His.
