They asked the Lord, ‘what are you doing?
They asked the Lord, ‘where have you been?
‘In the midst of our problems
And the conflicts of the nations’
It’s so hard to understand
Just because they want to comprehend
The ways of God like we did
Chorus 1
Ona to ngba sise (The ways of God)
Ona to ngba sise (The ways of God)
Kole ye alaimokan (Are strange to the ignorant)
Kole ye ologbon aye/alaigbagbo (Are strange to worldly wisdom)
The way of God is not divided
Our God is love, and full of grace
He’s the same now and forever
Ever faithful and just
It is not by calculation/permutation
But by the Spirit that He freely gave
Awa omo Re, awa to gbagbo (His Children: those who have believed)
Chorus 2
Ona to n gba sise (The ways of God)
Ona to n gba sise (The ways of God)
Iwe mimo lofi nye mi (Are made known to me in His holy word)
Baba mimo ose (Thank you holy Father)
Ona to n gba sise (The ways of God)
Ona to n gba sise (The ways of God)
Emi mimo lofi nye mi (Are made known to me by the Holy Ghost)
Emi mimo oseun o (Thank you, Holy Ghost)
We are not in the dark
We are not without the leading of the Spirit
We are not all alone
We are not without the comfort of the Spirit
Chorus 2
Ona to n gba sise
Ona to n gba sise
Iwe mimo lofi nye mi
Baba mimo ose
Ona to n gba sise
Ona to n gba sise
Emi mimo lofi nye mi
Emi mimo oseun o (Repeat)
Emi mimo E se o (Thank you, Holy Spirit)
Emi awon woli (The Spirit of the prophets)
Eyin kuku lagbara wa (You are our source of strength)
Emi mimo E se (Thank you, Holy Spirit)
