Lyrics Nathaniel Bassey – Awamaridi
Text:
You are the beginning and ending
Alpha and Omega
You seated in the circle of the earth
You are the God who made the universe
You spoke the word and it fell into place
You’re deeper than my mind can grasp and what my eyes can see
Eternity won’t be enough to tell of you
As long as I’ve got breath in me, and through the great beyond
I’ll declare the greatness of your name
Awamaridi, awamaridi, ooh
You are mystery
Reveal to me your own
So I’ve come to worship you
I’ve come to worship you
The heavens of the heavens cannot contain your majesty
And yet you made my heart your dwelling place
I find it hard to understand, the reason for this kind of love
For mortal man who sometimes doesn’t care
You took the journey to the cross, and never looking back
You died the sinners’ death so I can live again
If this is not the greatest love, I wonder what is
It can only take a God who is like you… Jesus
Awamaridi, (Awamaridi) awamaridi, ooh
You are a mystery, (You are a mystery) reveal to me your own
Awamaridi, (Awamaridi) awamaridi, are you
Awamaridi, (Awamaridi) awamaridi, are you
So I’ve come to worship you (Awanaridi)
I’ve come to worship you (Awanaridi)
Cause I live to worship you (Awanaridi)
Awamaridi, Awamaridi, Awamaridi ooh
Awamaridi, you’re a mystery, reveal to me your own
Tongues
Father God, we worship you

YORUBA CHANTS MEANING
Mysterious and Unsearchable One
We have searched we have not seen the end of You
Mysterious and Unsearchable One
The one we cannot fully examine/comprehend
The Light in the midst of gross darkness
The One whose end we cannot fathom
You are the Mysterious and Unsearchable One
That is Your Name
You make thunder roll
You stir the waters of the Sea
The Word that became flesh and dwelt among us
The Rock that is higher and we cannot see over
We see the works of your hands
Who can search
The Unsearchable
The One nobody can measure up to
Mysterious and Unsearchable One
The Beginning whose End we cannot fathom
The Middle that has no end
The End that no one can know
Mysterious and Unsearchable One
You are Lord
You are God of Heaven
You are Friend, Defender, Protector
The one whose hands created the earth
I’m in awe of You
Your love abounds in the earth
Who can search Your end
You are too much
Mysterious and Unsearchable One
I honour you
