The song "Adonai" by Sonnie Badu is a worship song that praises and exalts God. The lyrics are in a mixture of Yoruba, Ga, and English languages, but the overall message is about the greatness and sovereignty of God. The first verse talks about God being the creator of the world and the ruler of the universe. He is the ancient of days, the king of kings and the lord of lords. The chorus emphasizes the greatness of God, as the singer declares "Adonai" and "Elohi" repeatedly, which are Hebrew names for God that mean "Lord" and "My God."
In the second verse, Sonnie Badu sings in Ga and praises God as the one who created man and all other things. He also acknowledges God as the one who blesses and provides for his people, hence the line "Nobody like you Lord." The third verse is in Twi, another Ghanaian language, and continues with the praises of God as the supreme being and the source of all blessings. The song ends with the singer declaring his love for God and acknowledging him as his master, lord, and everything.
Overall, "Adonai" is a powerful and emotionally charged worship song that celebrates the greatness and sovereignty of God.

from the beginning of this song when I hear bro Sonni saying, tell me more about God that word really make me cry he said event though I know he created the sky but I really wont to know more about him. that means we should always be thirsty and longing to know more about our God in every area of our lives. in Jesus Christ Name.
