Understanding (Gbedu)

Intro

Yeah... na Paul talk am, listen with your ear

Uh-huh, let's go!

Verse 1

First thing first, make you follow after love

Charity na number one, coming from above

Desire the gifts, make the power overflow

But rather prophesy, make the brethren fit know.

When I yarn in tongues, I no dey talk to man

Na only Baba God understand my plan

Speaking mysteries inside the Holy Ghost

Building up myself, standing on my post

But he that prophesies, he dey bring the light

Edify, comfort, and make the family tight!

Pre-Chorus

If the flute no get tune, how we go know the sound?

If the harp just dey clash, nobody go dance around

If the trumpet sound scatter, tell me who go fit hear?

Who go prepare for battle when the warning no clear?

No be so, oh?

Chorus response: Na so, oh!

Chorus

So I go pray with the spirit, ye-ye-yea

I go pray with understanding also!

I go sing with the spirit, o-she-she

I go sing with understanding also!

Make the church grow strong, make everybody align

From the depth of my soul to the rhythm of my mind!

I go pray with the spirit, pray with understanding

Sing with the spirit, clear understanding!

Verse 2

I want make you speak in tongues, that one na fine

Prophecy pass am, except you interpret line by line

If I come to your side and dey drop deep mystery

Without revelation, how that one go help history?

You go just dey speak your words into the air

Nobody dey catch am, nobody dey hear

So many voices dey inside this world today

If I no catch the meaning, na stranger you be, I say!

So zeal for the gifts? Make you seek am well-well

To build up the church, make the glory excel

If you yarn in tongues, make you pray to interpret

So the whole congregation go catch every benefit!

Chorus

I go pray with the spirit, ye-ye-yea

I go pray with understanding also!

I go sing with the spirit, o-she-she

I go sing with understanding also!

Make the church grow strong, make everybody align

From the depth of my soul to the rhythm of my mind!

I go pray with the spirit, pray with understanding

Sing with the spirit, clear understanding!

Bridge

When my spirit dey pray, my spirit connect

Baba God dey receive, nothing dey suspect

My mind need to fruit, my mind need to grow

Everything we dey do, make the fruit of it show!

Oya, spirit on fire!

Mind elevated!

House of the Lord, let it be edified!

Oya dance to the revelation!
