I am Alive to Praise – Temitope Oyewole

I am alive to praise
I am alive to praise El Shaddai
I will praise your name
I will praise your name
I will praise your name
I‘m alive to praise

Day by day
Ma yin Olorun (I will praise God)
Lojoojumo (Everyday)
Ma yin Olorun (I will praise God)
Oba to da mi si (The King that preserves me)
Ma yin baba mi (I will praise my father)
Ko gbowo ko gbobi, ko ma gba nkankan
(He didn’t collect anything from me)
Ko gbowo ko gbobi, ko ma gba nkankan rara
(He didn’t collect anything from me)
Gbogbo ohun to nbe laye lo nyin oluwa
(Every creature on earth praise the Lord)

Igi igbo yin, ope ko duro o
(All the tree in the forest in praise Him, the palm tree bows for Him)
Emi ta fi joba lorii won loye kope mi po)
(I that have been made king over them should praise more)
Emi naa wa n juba fun baba
(I have come to honor the Father)

Ijo ki n ba jo fun baba
(what kind of dance will I dance for the father)
Ara ki n ba da fun baba
(what kind of performance will I give to Him)
E je n jooo, e je njoo, ijo ope mi po, maa fi yin Olorun
(Let me dance, my thanksgiving dance is so much, I will praise God with it)
E je ka joo, o ya ka joo, ijo ope re da, ko wa fi yin Olorun
(Let us dance, it’s time to dance, where is your thanksgiving dance, let us praise God with it)
Ma bere ma gbe Jesu ga, ma ko’rin s’ eledumare
(I will crouch, lift Jesus up and sing unto God)
Am alive to praise, am alive to praise
Si eledumare baba, s’eledumare
Si eledumare baba mi, s’eledumare
(To the Almighty)
Kuru kuru kuru ko ga ko gbe Jesu ga
(crouch, crouch and stand to lift Jesus up)
Bere mole ko ga ko gbe Jesu ga
(Bend and dance to lift Jesus up)
Fo soke ko ga, ko gbe Jesu ga o
(Jump and lift Jesus up)
