E Ba Mi Yin Jesu

E ba mi yin Jesu, 

E ba mi gb'Oluwa ga

E ba mi yin Jesu, 

E ba mi gb'Oluwa ga

Iyanu lohun t'Oluwa se 

Laye mi o, mo dupe 

Iyanu lohun t'Oluwa se

Laye mi o, mo dupe 

Jesus gba mi la, mo yege


P.S: I watched this song on TV in the 90s but I don't know the name of the singer. She has a pillbox hat on in the video and was on low cut. Some told me it was Bola Are before, but I am not sure she was the one and I don't think she was the one. This woman's singing style was different from Bola Are's own.

I believe older Yoruba brethren should know her name. Kindly drop the name in the comment if you do.

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

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.

It's Jesus that said I should dance, I dance

It's Jesus that said I should rejoice, I rejoice

The mountain of trouble before me has fallen

It's the Friend of Sinners that said I should dance, I dance
