Song Meaning

This worship anthem, sung partly in Efik, centers on a simple yet profound refrain: the Lord is good and His mercy endures forever. The repeated declaration, "Kore Enye fonde, Kor'ima esie odude ke nsinsi," translates to this core truth, anchoring the song in a posture of grateful praise. The lyrics move from this communal affirmation to a personal testimony, as the singer reflects on witnessing the beauty of God's love rising from the ruins of their past. There's a sense of transformation woven through the verses—a life changed, made brand new—which fuels the spontaneous song of thanksgiving. The structure mirrors a call-and-response pattern common in congregational worship, inviting listeners to join in the chorus of gratitude. The song doesn't dwell on the specifics of the past struggles but rather celebrates the present reality of renewal, making it a fitting anthem for moments of collective praise and personal reflection on God's enduring faithfulness. The repetition serves not as redundancy but as a meditative reinforcement of the truth that God's goodness and mercy are unchanging, a foundation upon which the singer's new song is built.

Koro Enye fonde
Kor'ima esie odude ke nsinsi
Koro Enye fonde

Kor'ima esie odude ke nsinsi
Koro Enye fonde
Kor'ima esie odude ke nsinsi
Koro Enye fonde
Kor'ima esie odude ke nsinsi

For the Lord is Good
And his mercy last forever
For the Lord is Good
And his mercy last forever
For the Lord is Good
And his mercy last forever
For the Lord is Good
And his mercy last forever

I have seen the beauty of your love
Rising from the ancient of my past
You have changed my Life
And make me feel brand new
Now I sing these song
Kore Enye Fonde eh...

Kor'ima esie odude ke nsinsi
Koro Enye fonde
Kor'ima esie odude ke nsinsi

For the Lord is Good
And his mercy last forever
For the Lord is Good
And his mercy last forever

For the Lord is Good
And his mercy last forever
For the Lord is Good
And his mercy last forever
