Maranatha

Dunsin Oyekan's 'Maranatha' is a worship song that calls for the Lord's coming with a sound, reflecting the belief that God's presence is accompanied by praise. The repeated phrase 'Maranatha Hallelujah' combines an Aramaic term for 'Come, Lord' with praise, expressing anticipation and invitation. The lyrics emphasize lifting voices as a protocol of the King, suggesting that worship prepares the way for God's arrival. The song builds in intensity with declarations of waiting and receiving, creating an atmosphere of expectant faith. It is a contemporary African gospel piece rooted in charismatic worship tradition.
