Gil Joe Nkay Lyrics

Hey hey hey hey hey hey Nkay and Gil Joe lets go
Introductory line that signals the start of the song.

Lord I know I don't deserve
Acknowledgment of unworthiness in receiving God's love and grace.

This kind of your love o
Expressing how overwhelming God's love is.

You love me first and
Recognition that God's love for us is unconditional and not based on our own merits.

Why you did I nor know
Wondering why God would still love us despite our shortcomings.

You gave your life for me
Acknowledging the ultimate sacrifice that Jesus made for us on the cross.

Am living for you
Commitment to living a life that honors God and acknowledges His love.

Ife yi du ju oyin lo
This love is sweeter than honey.

And titi lai lai no matter what they want
Acknowledgment that God's love is forever and enduring despite what others may say or do.

Mofe mofe kole fibi shere shere
I want to follow you closely and not just superficially.

And I go dey follow you go
Commitment to following God wherever He leads.

Till the end of time because
Commitment to loving God forever and always.

You took the cross just for me
Acknowledgment that Jesus paid the ultimate price for our salvation on the cross.

And the price was for free
Acknowledgment that salvation is a free gift from God.

I nor take it for granted
Not taking God's love and salvation for granted or lightly.

You mean so much to me
Expressing the depth of love and appreciation for God.

Na you kept my heart lord I know you know
Recognition that God is the keeper of our hearts.

No fronting you are the lover of my soul
Affirmation that God's love is real and authentic.

And I don't even care what all these say
Not swayed by the opinions of others when it comes to God and His love.

My life is yours and no longer my own
Recognizing that our lives belong to God and we are called to live for Him.

Now am calling you my papa
Addressing God as a loving father figure.

You dey sweet me like sugar

All these human love pass but na you wey sure pass
Acknowledging that human love may fail, but God's love endures forever.

For the birth that you gave you gave
Acknowledgment of Jesus' birth and the salvation that it brought.

Salvation you gave me you gave me
Expressing gratitude for the free gift of salvation that God gave us through Jesus.

I'll be calling you my daddy my daddy
Addressing God as a loving father figure again.

And you can call me your baby call me your baby
Acknowledging our spiritual adoption as children of God.

And that's why I've been searching
Why the search for God's love has been ongoing.
