Jesus my days
I go bless your holy name
And with my voice
I will sing
Of your love and your grace
Cause I will not be here
But for your mercy
Oou oou oou
But for your mercy
Where would I be, where would I be
If e no be say
Na you be my God
And you hold my hand
Lord you got my back
Where would I be, where would I be
I for don't kolo, I for don't exist
(Even when I do you wrong you still dey for
me)
Where would I be, where would I be
Tada dada tada tadada
But for your mercy
Where would I be, where would I be
Where would I be
