Intro

From the rising of the sun till its going down yeah 

All the praise shall be to Jehovah my Lord 

His name is Jehovah Rapha, Jehovah nissi 

Jehovah Tikenu, the Lord my righteousness 

Yes He is, Yes He is  


Lift up your hands and join me in the time of worship 

Give Him worship, Give Him praise now 

Oya oya, He is worthy of worship 

He is worthy of praise, So lift your hand high ...
