[Verse 1]
Ara ile mi e wa
Erowo ninu e wa wo
Mo fe so story kan
Akpo ma le lo ni
Irin ajo aye mi lo je fun Olorun loruko
Agbeniga ni
Come close my people
Draw near ye passer-by
I want to tell a story
I'm sure it will interest you
I named God after my journey so far
The lifter of men
[Verse 2]
Mo bere lati ewe
Titi mo fi toju bo
Mo ri lo kere kere
Ka ma forogun
Mo dala gba
Mo tun lo sile iwe
Abore da ju sa sa sa
Oro re to so ni bibeli
Se lo mu se
Right from my childhood
To my youth
As I journey to becoming an adult
God's protection has been certain throughout my schooling
He fulfilled every of his word according to the bible
[Bridge]
He promise to stand by me
Whatever my condition
My experience so far made me name him
The lifter of men
[Chorus]
I have a very big God ooo
He's always by my side
I have a very big God ooo
By my side, by my side
[Verse 3]
I have stories to tell
Chinike idimma
Olorun dara lati bere aye mi wa
E wo omo ti o l'enikan
O ti d'ori apesin
O jo emi gangan loju
My God is so good
All my life God has been so good
Has less privilege
Now nations rally to me
It marvels me
[Verse 4]
Kabi o osi Olorun aye
Eni mimo funfun balawu
Akowe osi laye Olorun
E ti n be, e o ma be
Your majesty, the biggest God
Mo ka o soke, faruwo jo
Idobale re o mo ga j'orun
He who is and is to come
[Verse 5]
Elevation does not come from the south
Olorun nikan lo ni idajo
To ba wuwu are ni le
O tun le pinu lati gbe ni ga
Iwo lo ku o, kemi ko le ye
O tun je ya to ye kin je
Eni lo si asi were ni
Jesu wese oba wula
You died so I can live
And took my pains away
Only the insane will claim you don't exist
Thank you my very big God
[Verse 6]
I have been shaken and broken
Stigmatised but not destroyed
I have a God that does not fail
Ayera ye e ma seun o
Thank you everlasting God
[Chorus]
I have a very big God ooo
He's always by my side
I have a very big God ooo
By my side, by my side

Song Meaning
Toluwanisings builds this testimony around a bilingual retelling of one life, moving from Yoruba into English and back again as the story unfolds. The opening verses trace a path from childhood through schooling into adulthood, insisting that God's protection held at every stage, and the singer gives God a name drawn from that road: the lifter of men. The bridge makes the naming explicit — promise kept through every condition — before the chorus lands on its simple claim of a very big God who stays by one's side. Later verses turn toward reversal: someone once without connections now draws attention from nations, and the singer admits it marvels them. Verse five presses further, crediting elevation to God alone and thanking Jesus for dying so the singer could live, while verse six names the harder chapters — shaken, broken, stigmatised but not destroyed — and answers them with thanks to an everlasting God. The song's power sits in that refusal to skip the scars; the testimony is credible because it remembers the breaking. It closes where it began, repeating the chorus like a settled conviction rather than a fresh discovery.
