Arugbo Ojo

 Arugbo Ojo by Minister Kenn

The heavens declare Your power and royalty 

Lord You reign 

King of all ages, You are the Ancient of days 

Lord You reign 

Your throne is established in justice and righteousness 

Lord You reign 

Great are You Lord, and greatly to be praised 

Lord You reign 


We cry holy, holy is our God 

Let Your glory, glory fill this place 

Arugbo Ojo, Arugbo Ojo 

(Ancient of days, Ancient of days)

Iwo l'aseda, l'aweda, l'ameda oh 

(You are the creator of all creation, the carer of all creation, knower of the created)

Arugbo Ojo, Arugbo Ojo

(Ancient of days, Ancient of days)

Iwo l'oni iyin, kaabo, kaabo, maa rora

(You own the praises, welcome, welcome, step carefully)

Arugbo Ojo  

(Ancient of days)

Translation

What the Father has done, there's no one who can do it

What the Father has done, there's no one who can do it

Shout hallelujah, shout hosanna 

Shout hallelujah, shout hosanna to God

He has known what we would want

What He has done for us, there's no one who can do it


Praise Him, o believers

Praise Him, o believers

Shout hallelujah, shout hosanna 

Shout hallelujah, shout hosanna to God

He has known what we would want

What He has done for us, there's no one who can do it

Notes

I knew this song as a child in the early 90's. We sang it for a long time in church during services and thanksgiving. I believe it was popular at the time. I have no idea who the original owner of the song is, but I hope older people would know. Kindly drop the name of the writer and the minister that released this song back then if you know. Thank you.
