Meaning & Inspiration
"What Have You Not Done" opens with a repeated rhetorical question, asking what has not been done rather than listing specific favors received. That negative framing, searching for an exception that does not exist, frames the entire song around comprehensive, exhaustive gratitude.
Its answer repeats with equal simplicity, you have done everything, treating that unqualified statement as sufficient response to the preceding question without further elaboration. A hook then translates that gratitude into a list of physical responses, shouting, running, jumping, dancing, screaming, each offered as a form of praise.
Rooted in contemporary Nigerian worship's call-and-response praise tradition, the song functions as an uninhibited, physical expression of total gratitude, its structure cycling between question and answer as a way of letting repetition itself carry the weight of thanksgiving that no single list of blessings could fully contain.
