Intro

Yeah, yeah...

Oluwa na my Light o

Tell me who I go fear?

Nobody, nobody...

Listen!

Verse 1

The Lord is my Light, my Salvation,

Tell me who I go fear for this nation?

He's the strength of my life, my defense,

Nothing fit make me lose confidence.

When the wicked dem come with bad belle,

Wan swallow my flesh like a feast,

Dem stumble and fall to the ground,

My God make the war make e cease!

Even if an army surround me,

Ten thousand encamped on my way,

My heart will not panic or tremble,

My faith dey secure every day!

Pre-Chorus

Just one thing I desire from Jehovah,

Na the only thing I dey pursue:

To dwell in Your house all the days of my life,

To behold how Your beauty be true.

To inquire in Your temple,

Lord, make I stay in Your presence!

Chorus

Whom shall I fear? (Nobody!)

Whom shall I dread? (Nobody!)

The Lord is the strength of my life,

He's lifting my head!

No shaking, no shaking o,

My Baba dey cover my back!

On top of the Rock I dey stand,

Nothing I lack!

(Whom shall I fear? Nobody!)

Verse 2

In the time of trouble, He go hide me,

Inside Him pavilion, e sure!

In the secret place of His tabernacle,

He keep my salvation secure.

He set me high on the Rock,

Far above the enemies around,

Now I go bring sacrifice of great joy,

With a sweet Afro-melody sound!

I will sing, yea, I will sing praises,

Praising the Lord everyday!

Verse 3

O Lord, hear my voice when I cry,

Have mercy and answer my call!

You whispered to me: "Seek My face,"

My heart said: "Lord, I give You my all!"

Please do not turn far from me,

Do not cast Your servant away;

You've been my help from the start,

O God, be my anchor and stay.

Even if my father and mother forsake me,

If everybody leave me alone,

The Lord will just pick me right up,

And carry me close as His own!

Chorus

Whom shall I fear? (Nobody!)

Whom shall I dread? (Nobody!)

The Lord is the strength of my life,

He's lifting my head!

No shaking, no shaking o,

My Baba dey cover my back!

On top of the Rock I dey stand,

Nothing I lack!

Bridge

Teach me Your way, Jehovah,

Lead me on a level path;

Save me from the cruel oppressors,

Deliver my soul from their wrath.

False witnesses rising against me,

Breathing out venom and lies,

But I serve a God who is faithful,

Who hears every one of my cries!

I for don faint! I for don fall!

Unless I believed to see

The goodness of God in the land of the living,

Shining His favor on me!

Eh! In the land of the living!

Outro

Wait on the Lord o! (Wait on Him!)

Be of good courage! (Be strong!)

He go strengthen your heart,

He will never do you wrong!

Wait on the Lord o! (Wait, I say!)

No rush, just hold on tight!

The Lord is my Salvation,

The Lord is my shining Light!

"Wait on the Lord... Baba God e dey... No shaking!"
