So many times I fall and in many occasions I know that I’m not worthy of your forgiveness. But God (Olodumare) You got my back and that’s why I surrender all before You.
You haven’t allowed the enemies to laugh over my circumstance or neither do You forsake me and turn Your back at me. Because of You Lord I live and I’m grateful for your mercies over my life.
Talking about the meaning of “Olodumare” by Joel Lwaga (a talented Tanzanian gospel minister), this song is all about worshiping God for who He is.
“Olodumare” is a name used to describe God in Yoruba-Nigerian language and it means “The Almighty” or “The Supreme One.”
Here, Joel Lwaga is using this name to honor God as the One who is above everything and everyone. When you listen to this song, you can feel that it’s coming from a place of deep respect and awe.
It’s like he’s standing before God, completely amazed by how powerful, holy and good God is. He’s not asking for anything in this song, he’s just praising God because He deserves it.
Joel is saying, “God, You are “Olodumare.” You are so great, and I just want to lift You up.” He’s not depending on what God has done for him, he’s worshiping God simply because of who God is.
That’s powerful. It shows that our love for God shouldn’t only be based on blessings or good things we get from Him. Even if we didn’t receive anything more, God would still be worthy of our praise.
This song also reminds us that God is in control, and nothing can be compared to Him. No problem is too big for Him.
No human power can match Him. When we call Him “Olodumare,” we’re saying He’s the source of all power, wisdom, and life.
Furthermore, this song helps you shift your focus. Maybe you’ve been stressed or feeling weak, but when you listen to “Olodumare,” it reminds you that you serve a mighty God.
It lifts your eyes up from your problems and helps you see the greatness of God again.
In my conclusion, “Olodumare” is a beautiful way of saying, “God, You are everything. You are holy, powerful and You deserve all my worship.”
It’s a simple but strong reminder that God is still on the throne, and we can always trust Him. Hallelujah…..
