Meaning & Inspiration
“Oluwa My Light” by Victor Ivyic is a worship song that calls God a guiding light. “Oluwa” is a Yoruba word for Lord, and it returns as a cry between the lines. The first verses begin with gratitude each morning, seeing God’s hand and having the spirit lifted, and then move into the darkest night, where His power is said to shine brightest.
The chorus names God as light, song, and strength: “You are my light, You hold my night,” with grace described as a river that keeps flowing. That wording is close to Psalm 27:1, “The Lord is my light and my salvation,” and John 8:12, where Jesus speaks of the light of life.
Later verses turn to trials and tears that become peace, calm waters in storms, and a God who moves mountains with a word. The bridge adds that His grace is wide and His love unearned, which echoes Ephesians 2:8. The message is steady trust in God through dark times.
