If the Lord hath not been / Ibase P’Oluwa (CL. 86)
If the Lord hath not been Ibase p’Oluwa
On this side of our force Ko ti wa ni tiwa So say we who have seen Lo ye k’awa ma wi When the devil rose against us 2ce Nigbat’ esu gbogun re dide 2ce
Ch: Thanks we give to the Lord Ch: Ope ni f’Oluwa
Our father so gracious Baba wa Olore Hail ye Him! Hail His majesty E se kabiyesile We give thanks to Jehovah A sope fun Jehovah Who has spared us till today To da wa si d’oni yi We’ll glorify the Lord for aye. Awa fo’ope fun Oluwa.
They would’ve cover’d us down Nwon’ ba bo wa mole
With all their power so great Pelu agbara won But praise the Lord, our crown Ope ni f’Oluwa Who hath not let the devil prevail (2ce) Ti ko jeki t’esu bori (2ce)
Our soul escaped like bird Okan wa yo b’eiye
From snare of fowler set N’nu okun ap’eiye The gin broke and the chord Okun ja, awa yo Jesus loosed us and we live yet (2ce) E yo. Jesu da wa sile (2ce)
