Song Meaning

Sammie Okposo builds this one around the Yoruba refrain "e to bi" — you are great, you are worthy — layering it over English verses that widen the claim outward from the singer to the entire universe declaring God's majesty. The search language in the opening lines ("we searched all over") sets up the comparison that follows: demons trembling at the name, mountains crumbling at the voice, phrased as natural reactions rather than dramatic flourishes. Praise names drawn from Yoruba tradition — Alagbada Ina, covered in fire; Oba Iyanu, God of wonders; Eledumare, the Almighty — stack up across a few lines, each one adding a different facet to what "great" is supposed to mean rather than repeating a single idea. The closing run of comparatives — stronger, wiser, bigger, greater — strips the song down to its simplest form, four one-word claims traded back and forth until the point needs no further argument. Battles won "by the power of your mighty hand" ties the abstract praise back to something concrete: strength borrowed rather than self-generated, which is the source of the confidence the whole song is built on.

Great are you lord

The Universe declares your majesty

Who can compare, we searched all over

Demons tremble at the mention of your name

Mountains crumble at the sound of your voice

Our battles are won by the pow’r of your mighty hand

We are strong cause we have a very big God
