Ese baba, oluwa ti se
God, you made a way
Made a way for me
Had some lows, oluwa, but it's okay for me
Kilode what they said when they prayed for me
Gave it all to the lord, have your way with me (ah-ah)
But they hate and they chatter
See my head when they scatter
Intervene for my matter
In the pit, they don't give me a ladder (ayy, woah)
But, God, look at what you turned around (around)
Everything I lost been found (been found)
I'ma tell the world out loud (out loud)
But I'm free, he's with me
Look at how the storm has gone away
I'm seein' brighter days, we say—
Ese baba, oluwa ti se
God, you made a way
We give thanks to oluwa
Baba ese o, father I thank so (yo, yo, yo)
Now then came love with feet to make a grown man to cry
Every twenty-four, water in my eye
Look at my life, I don't tell no lies
I got you all pardon and see
'Cause when they look at me there's no doubt what you've done in me
You've changed me for good, where would I be without you?
Ah, no showdown, nobody fi compare you now
You done way more that I wrote down
My reason solely is you now (oh, woah)
But, God, look at what you've done for me
Look how you set me free, my heart will sing—
Ese baba, oluwa ti se
God, you made a way
We give thanks to oluwa
Baba ese o, father I thank so
Baba ese o, ah
Sing praises, ah
Baba ese o, ah
Give thanks to ya
I've been all these places, still nothin' replacin'
You stay by my side when my problems arise
But, God, look at what you turned around (around)
Everything I lost been found (been found)
I'ma tell the world out loud (out loud)
But I'm free, he's with me
Look at how the stone has rolled away
I know you rose again, we say—
Ese baba, oluwa ti se
God, you made a way
We give thanks to oluwa
Baba ese o, father I thank so
