Sunan Sa

Steve Crown mixes Hausa and English in "Sunan Sa," whose title means "His name." The opening phrase "Daga sunan sa" is a call to lift that name up, and the English lines spell out how: praise in "the morning and the noon time," sung "as a people" who are rejoicing. The singer says they will rise "all the way," then closes with "Zan daga sunan sa" ("I will lift His name") and the Hausa word for the Lord, Ubangiji.

The text is brief and built on repetition, which suits a song meant to be sung together. Its focus is the act of exalting God's name from sunrise onward.

That daily rhythm of praise fits Psalm 113:3, where the Lord's name is to be praised from sunrise to sunset, and Psalm 34:3 invites worshipers to magnify the Lord and exalt His name together. Psalm 99:5 adds the posture of lifting Him high.
