Song Meaning

Four different voices trade verses here, each naming Jesus in a different register — Judikay's plain doctrinal repetition ('Jesus is the way, the truth and life'), Israel Dammy's more personal, almost playful language ('Jesus Jesus Jesus, you're my superman, my friend my lover'), and Mercy Chinwo's imagery of bringing an 'alabaster box,' recalling the woman who poured out expensive perfume on Jesus's feet. The shifts in tone across the same song — theological statement, personal affection, worshipful gift — read less like four separate features and more like different facets of the same claim.

'Jesus is the way, the truth and life' lifts John 14:6 almost word for word, and 'you're the bright and morning star' pulls directly from Revelation 22:16's self-description from Jesus himself. The repeated Igbo line 'mma mma ekele o' (roughly, 'so, so much thanks') threaded through the English and pidgin verses keeps the song rooted in a specific West African worship tradition rather than flattening it into a generic English-only chorus.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

You're the reason I live  

ChiZee:

The reason we live and sing 

Is to consistently and perpetually glorify Jesus

To tell of the importance of spirituality 

Because everything that you own now 

will be taken from you somehow 

Except the word in your spirit 


He is the only true one 

The true and sovereign God 

The one who makes me smile 

Like an eagle I dey fly 

I go on my knees 

All the praises I dey sing  


This God of mercy that's why I'm singing 

He is the only true one 

The true and sovereign God 

The one who makes me smile 

Like an eagle I dey fly 

I go on my knees 

All the praises I dey sing  


This God of mercy that's why I'm singing 

Oh my God oh mma mma ekele o
