Song Meaning

Esther Oji sings partly in English and partly in Igbo, repeating the same title phrase in both — "You are dependable, Jesus" and "so gi ne che ndum o" ("You are the Guardian of my life"). The closing verse quotes Numbers 23:19 almost word for word: "You are not a man, that You should lie, nor son of man, that You should repent."

"Age-to-age, You remain the same" reaches for Hebrews 13:8's claim that "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever" — reliability measured across time rather than only within one difficult moment. "Everything You say, cometh to pass" keeps the song's whole argument tethered to God's spoken word specifically, not a general sense of security; dependability here has a stated reason behind it rather than only a repeated feeling.

No one meets You, and remains the same

Burdens are lifted, in encounter with You

Oh.. You are dependable, Jesus

So gi ne che ndum o (The Guardian of my life)

Dependable Jesus


No one meets You, and remains the same

Burdens are lifted, in encounter with You

Oh.. You are dependable, Jesus

You are reliable, You are dependable Jesus


You are dependable Jesus, Dependable Jesus

You’re awesome in Your ways, Oh my God

You are He Who Was, He Who Is, and Shall forever Be

Everything You say, cometh to pass

You are not a man, that You should lie

Nor son of man, that You should repent
