Lyrics
He's the same God
Who was there for you in the midnight hour
He's the same God
Who is able to wipe your tears away
He's the same God
Who was there in times of lack and want
He's the same God
He's Jehovah, my great provider
Tell me why you've give up on God
Tell me why you've given up on Him
Tell me why you've given up on God
Hold down, change is on the way
Ebezina, Chukwu non nso
Ogini bun so bu gi
Imana odi ah diegide
Nwanam ooo
Gide Ezia ike
Hechan anyi gi eh
Chukwu ardi ah tou ashi
Oga diri gi mma
Don't you cry, change is here
Weeping may endure for a night
Joy is gonna come in the morning
You don't have to cry no more
Hold God by His word, He's gonna do what He says
Lift your hands and give Him praise
Ebezina, Chukwu non nso
Ogini bun so bu gi
Imana odi ah diegide
Nwanam ooo
Gide Ezia ike
Hechan anyi gi eh
Chukwu ardi ah tou ashi
Oga diri gi mma
I know you've been crying – I understand
I know you've been wounded – But it's Ok
I know you've been broken But I'm here,
To mend your broken heart
Believe in me, you will overcome
Your yesterday will be a story
I'm the God of all flesh
Nothing is too hard for me to do
Don't you forget (I calmed the sea)
Don't you forget (I raised the dead)
Don't you forget (I came to die that you might live forever)
Don't you cry is gonna be over, You will overcome today
Wipe your tears and give Him all the praise
Ebezina, Chukwu non nso
Ogini bun so bu gi
Imana odi ah diegide
Nwanam ooo
Gide Ezia ike
Hechan anyi gi eh
Chukwu ardi ah tou ashi
Oga diri gi mma
Oga dirigi mma…
It's gonna be alright...
It's gonna be alright...
Oga dirigi mma….

Meaning & Inspiration
Ebezina offers comfort to a person worn down by grief, need, and disappointment. The song repeatedly identifies God as the same faithful provider who was present in earlier trouble and remains near in the present. Its call not to cry does not dismiss suffering; the verses name wounds, brokenness, and tears before directing attention toward God’s ability to restore. The Igbo refrain reinforces that assurance with an appeal to hold firmly to God.
The line about weeping lasting through the night and joy arriving in the morning directly reflects Psalm 30. Another declaration, that God is the God of all flesh and nothing is too hard for him, closely follows Jeremiah’s prayer. References to calming the sea, raising the dead, and Christ dying so that life may be received gather biblical signs of divine authority and mercy. Praise becomes the song’s response to distress, expressing hope that present pain is not beyond God’s help.
