Hello welcome to the week 278th edition of the hive open mic, I am @sirjoshua and in this week's edition I'll be doing the cover of Iba by Pastor Nathaniel Bassey.
This song "Iba" means "I give You reverence, or I bow down" in yoruba,
it tells me of how to come before God in worship. This transcends beyond the physical for me as it is a heart posture when ever I worship my God and King.
My words being within the human thinking and vocabulary is truly limited and too small to contain the Wonder of God, how Big He is, how Beautiful He is and the only thing I can do is to keep bowing my heart in worship to Him.
Lyrics: Iba by NATHANIEL BASSEY
Blessed hath thou, Son of David
Blessed hath thou, Root of Jesse
Blessed hath thou, Son of David
Blessed hath thou, Root of Jesse
You are eminently glorious
Immaculately beautiful
I can go on and on
On and on
But my words are not enough
My vocabularies will fail me
But they make me to cry out
Iba o, Iba oo
Iba
Iba oo
Iba
Iba oo
Iba
Blessed hath thou, Rock of ages
Blessed hath thou, King of heaven
Blessed hath thou, Rock of ages
Blessed hath thou, King of heaven
You are infinitely powerful
Magnificiently wonderful
I can go on and on
On and on
But my words are not enough
My vocabularies they fail me
Permit me to bring this word of praise
Iba o, Iba oo
Iba

Iba

Iba
You tell the wind how hard to blow
You tell the rain how much to fall
You lay the pathway for the lightning
Those who are wise will worship you
You ador this life with splendor
I will walk in this light
There is no limit to your power
