Dunsin Oyekan's song 'Judah' is a praise anthem inspired by the biblical account of Judah leading Israel into battle. The lyrics emphasize that believers do not need to fight their own battles because the Lord fights for them. The song encourages releasing praise as a spiritual weapon, with references to tambourines, claps, shouts, and dances as expressions of 'Judah'—a symbol of praise and victory. It draws from the story in Judges 1:2 where God instructs Judah to go first, and from 2 Chronicles 20 where Jehoshaphat's army is told to stand still and see the salvation of the Lord. The song is a declaration of trust in God's power and the victory that comes through praise.

I won't have to fight

The battle is the Lord's
The victory is mine

I will stand still and know
The salvation of the Lord
I go with my Judah
I will never look back
The battle is the Lord's
The victory is mine
Now somebody release your praise, come on
Somebody release your Judah
Your tambourine can be your Judah
Your clap can be your Judah
Your shout can be your Judah
Your dance can be your Judah

The battle is the Lord's
The victory is mine
