Lyrics

You are the beginning and ending
Alpha and Omega
You seated in the circle of the earth
You are the God who made the universe
Out of void and emptiness
You spoke the word and it fell into place
You're deeper than my mind can grasp and what my eyes can see
Eternity won't be enough to tell of you
As long as I've got breath in me, and through the great beyond
I'll declare the greatness of your name


Awamaridi, awamaridi, ooh
You are mystery
Reveal to me your own
So I've come to worship you
I've come to worship you


The heavens of the heavens cannot contain your majesty
And yet you made my heart your dwelling place
I find it hard to understand, the reason for this kind of love
For mortal man who sometimes doesn't care


You took the journey to the cross, and never looking back
You died the sinners' death so I can live again
If this is not the greatest love, I wonder what is
It can only take a God who is like you... Jesus


Awamaridi, (Awamaridi) awamaridi, ooh
You are a mystery, (You are a mystery) reveal to me your own
Awamaridi, (Awamaridi) awamaridi, are you
Awamaridi, (Awamaridi) awamaridi, are you


So I've come to worship you (Awanaridi)
I've come to worship you (Awanaridi)
Cause I live to worship you (Awanaridi)
I live to worship you (Awanaridi) ooh


Awamaridi, Awamaridi, Awamaridi ooh
Awamaridi, you're a mystery, reveal to me your own


Tongues
Father God, we worship you

YORUBA CHANTS MEANING
Mysterious and Unsearchable One
We have searched we have not seen the end of You
Mysterious and Unsearchable One
The one we cannot fully examine/comprehend
The Light in the midst of gross darkness
The One whose end we cannot fathom
You are the Mysterious and Unsearchable One
That is Your Name
You make thunder roll
You stir the waters of the Sea
The Word that became flesh and dwelt among us
The Rock that is higher and we cannot see over
We see the works of your hands
Who can search
The Unsearchable
The One nobody can measure up to
Mysterious and Unsearchable One


The Beginning whose End we cannot fathom
The Middle that has no end
The End that no one can know
Mysterious and Unsearchable One


You are Lord
You are God of Heaven


You are Friend, Defender, Protector


The one whose hands created the earth
I'm in awe of You
Your love abounds in the earth
Who can search Your end
You are too much
Mysterious and Unsearchable One


I honour you

Meaning & Inspiration

Awamaridi praises God as eternal, unsearchable, and beyond the limits of human understanding. The opening names him as beginning and end, creator of the universe, and ruler over the earth. Rather than treating mystery as distance, the lyric responds with worship and a request for revelation. Its Yoruba title and chants deepen that central confession by describing the one whose end cannot be found and whose works remain visible.

The song also holds divine majesty together with nearness. Heaven cannot contain God, yet the lyric speaks of his presence dwelling within a human heart. It then turns to Jesus and the cross, presenting his death as sacrificial love that gives life to sinners. Images of light in darkness, the Word becoming flesh, and the rock higher than human reach closely echo biblical language. The repeated act of worship is therefore rooted in both creation and redemption: God is honored for immeasurable greatness, sustaining love, protection, and saving grace.
