Semah + Flavour - Most High Lyrics
Lyrics
God, you are the most high
Hallowed be thy name
Lord, you are the most high
Hallowed be thy name
God, you are the most high
Hallowed be thy name
Lord, you are the most high (ohh)
Hallowed be thy name
You told me Semah no worry
That everything's gonna be okay
You are the father to the fatherless
The miracle working God
You made the blind man to see
You made the cripple man to walk
You are the lilly of the valley
You make impossible possible
Agam aturu gi mma mma
Mu na ezi n' ulom ga na eto gi ooo
Makana chi anyi di mma
Hallow be thy name
God, you are the most high
Hallowed be thy name
Lord, you are the most high
Hallowed be thy name
God, you are the most high
Hallowed be thy name
Lord, you are the most high (ohh)
Hallowed be thy name
I woke up Monday morning
I go to gym on a Tuesday
Then to the studio on Wednesday
I work it out till Thursday morning
I'll be chilling on a Friday
I play some shows on a Saturday
If You ask me what my best day is
Is when I praise You on Sunday morning
Agam aturu gi mma mma
Mu na ezi n' ulom ga na eto gi ooo
Makana chi anyi di mma
Hallow be thy name
God, you are the most high
Hallowed be thy name
Lord, you are the most high
Hallowed be thy name
God, you are the most high
Hallowed be thy name
You're the holy Ghost fire
Chineke moh

Meaning & Inspiration
I keep coming back to that line about being a father to the fatherless. It hits hard, especially hearing it from a child. It feels like they are pulling directly from Psalm 68, where God is described as exactly that—a defender of the vulnerable. When they sing about the cripple walking and the blind seeing, it brings up those moments in the Gospels where Jesus just stopped everything to change someone’s reality. It is heavy, because it acknowledges that we are actually in need of those miracles, that we aren't just fine on our own.
But then I find myself pausing when they talk about Sunday morning being their best day. I get the sentiment, wanting to set aside time to praise, but does that kind of rhythm—working all week and then saving the "good stuff" for Sunday—actually fit with how Scripture talks about worship? It feels like we are trying to compartmentalize God, like He is just for the end of the week. Paul told the folks in Rome to offer their bodies as living sacrifices, which sounds like an everyday, all-the-time kind of thing, not just a weekend event.
Still, there is something honest in saying "Hallowed be thy name" over and over again. It’s like they are trying to keep the focus on who He is, even when the lyrics shift to talking about their own busy schedule. It makes me wonder if I am actually hallowing His name in my own life, or if I am just using it as a starting point to talk about my own day. It feels like they are genuinely leaning into God being the Most High, but I have to ask myself if I am treating Him like the Most High, or if He is just the one I turn to when I need a miracle or a Sunday pick-me-up.
