Ayayayaya
Mmmmmm
Ayayayaya
Nothing wey I get, wey You no give me, ayayayaya
Nothing wey I get, wey You no give me, Mmmmmm
Imeela o, to the one who never leaves me stranded
Imeela o, to the one who never sleeps or slumber
Imeela o, to the one who never leaves me stranded
Imeela o, Jesus, Imela o
Nothing wey I get, wey You no give me, Onye ọma
Nothing wey I get, wey You no give me, Onye ọma
Nothing wey I get, wey You no give me, ayayayaya, eh
Nothing wey I get, wey You no give me, Onye ọma mụ ee
I boast in You alone
I boast in You alone
I boast in You alone, Jesus
I boast in You alone
I boast in You alone
'Cause, nothing wey I get, wey You no give me, Onye ọma
Nothing wey I get, wey you no give me, Onye ọma mụ ee
I can't boast of anything, without Your help, without Your grace, Onye ọma mụ ee
Nothing wey I get, wey You no give me, Onye ọma
Nothing, nothing, I'll be nothing without You, Jesus
Where I for dey, if You no guide me? Ayayayayaya
Jesus oh-oh, who I for be, if You no help me?
Outside You, I'm nothing, with You, I'm complete
Where I for dey, if You no lift me, my helper?
Nothing wey I get, wey You no give me, Onye ọma mụ ee
I boast in You alone
I boast in You alone
I boast in You alone, Jesus
I boast in You alone
I boast in You alone
Nothing wey I get, wey You no give me, Onye ọma
