Meaning & Inspiration
“Ahaa” by Tim Godfrey is a high-energy praise song that mixes English, Igbo, Yoruba, and Nigerian Pidgin. The Igbo lines name God as good and kind, “Omemma,” and as healer, “Ogwo oria.” The line “you’re the first and the last” and “the beginning and end” are close to Revelation 22:13, where Christ calls Himself Alpha and Omega.
The central call is “Call him, he will answer you.” The song says that when someone is falling, God will pick them up, and that there is nothing He cannot do, which echoes Jeremiah 33:3 and Psalm 145:14. The hook, “We dey hail you,” is Pidgin for “we praise you,” and it is sung back and forth between lead and chorus.
The second part adds “King of kings and Lord of lords” and a Yoruba line, “Alagbara,” meaning mighty one, with the statement that all power belongs to Him. The song is rhythmic and communal, and its message is confident praise for a God who answers prayer and holds all power.
