Lyrics
You are God,You are God
You are the eyes I use to see.
You are the key that opens all doors
You are the owner of My soul
The bush that burnt and never consumes
What shall I render to You Oh Lord?
I will bow down and worship Your name
You are God!
Olorun Mi Olorun Mi
Iwo l’Oju ti mo fi n’riran
Iwo ni kokoro ti mo fi n’silekun
Iwo l’orin ti mo nko
Ina aiye O je ko jo mi
Kini mo ni ti mo le mu wa fun o
Mo wole, Mo yin o Baba
Olorun mi

Meaning & Inspiration
Olorun Mi is a bilingual expression of dependence, gratitude, and worship. The English and Yoruba lines describe God as the source of sight, access, song, and the life of the soul. Images of the burning bush and a fire that does not consume place divine holiness beside divine protection. The repeated question about what can be offered to the Lord leads naturally to the songs central response: bowing down and giving praise.
The burning bush image recalls Exodus 3:2, where fire surrounds the bush without consuming it as God calls Moses. Psalm 116:12-14 closely parallels the question about what may be rendered to the Lord in return for his goodness. The posture of bowing in worship also accords with Psalm 95:6. Across both languages, the lyric presents worship not as repayment for grace, but as a fitting response to Gods ownership, guidance, and sustaining care.
