Spoken Word
Yes the world will bow down to say you are God
Every man will bow down to say you are King
And as we open our mouth to sing
King of glory fill this place
We just want to seek your face.
Alexandra Aremo
A couple of words strung together
Not necessarily remarkable on their own
But put together
They make the presence of the Most High come down.
They form Praise.
Oluwatobi Afolabi
We are created for this single purpose
Because that is all we can give
We are created to give him praise
To remember all that we think we are
And lay it all at his feet.
Oluwaferanmi Ogundipe
Praise, I’m not really sure what part of speech it belongs to
But whenever I’m confused, it’s the only thing I run to.
Most times it leaves me so high
Like the only alcohol I agree to succumb to.
Powerful enough to leave your maker vulnerable… praise.
Lawrence Acha
I’d rather chanté from the belly of a medley of psalms
Lubricate my Yahweh with an alabaster box of oil
Dance into a warship, to worship his Lordship
And pitch my voice above the scalp of Mount Everest
Without apology, make Lucifer see, he’s got nothing on me.
Grace Elioku
With sounds of joy exclaim
Words of honour proclaim
Great God He is
Bowing in adoration
We render salutation.
Chinaza Okafor
That hallowed way that reserves are not made
Opened to all maids not only in Manhattan’s Cathedral
A sound of rejoicing that breaks chains
And even saves from Hades’ raised gates
Gone be the miles when real praise was prayed.
Adeyemi Adetunji
The sun was almost blinded by the view of the naked Son on the cross
So it went to sleep before its bedtime
The earth saw the corpse of its own Creator, and it quaked with angry tears
If these mindless creations can reverence the king
Then let’s send a bird to God with high praise on its wings!
Caleb Nnamani ‘CNC’
I raise my hands in praise
The heavens open with a bright gaze
My songs are loud while they are raised
He is worthy to be praised beyond earthly measure
He sits on the throne and all the nations bow for sure.
Adegbulugbe Busayo
He is Lord of Lords, He is Messiah
Angels bow before him
He is the Lion of the tribe of Judah
Not only because He’s the lion that defends Judah
But because He made the lions that dwell in Judah and I’ll praise Him till the end.
