Sonnie Badu Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your name is Elohim
At the mention of your name
Every knee must bow
At the mention of your name
Every tongue shall confess
That you're the covenant keeping God
There's no one like you
Covenant keeping God
There's no one like you
Alpha and Omega
There's no one like you
God of Abraham
God of Isaac
God of Jacob
God of Elijah
You answereth by fire
God of Daniel
Covenant keeping God
There's no one like
Covenant keeping God
There's no one like you
Alpha and Omega
There's no one like you
Wo din ne Yehowa
(Jehovah is your name)
Wo din ne ahuntahuno
(Your name is the feared One)
Obiara nti sε wo
(You're incomparable)
Nana brεbrε o
(Tread gently, my King)
Nana brεbrε o
(Tread gently, my King)
Covenant keeping God, oh
There is no one like you
Alpha and Omega
There is no one like you
The lyrics of Sonnie Badu's song Covenant Keeping God are an ode to God's power, might, and willingness to keep His promises. The first verse starts by acknowledging God's name, Jehovah and Elohim, and how at the mention of His name, every knee must bow and tongue confess his supremacy, highlighting His omnipotence. The chorus then affirms that there's no other God, like the covenant-keeping God, Alpha, and Omega. The second verse reminds us of the various biblical figures who've experienced and testified to God's power, from Abraham to Elijah and Daniel, and how they received divine assistance that defy human explanation. The song's bridge is a repetition of the chorus in the Ghanaian language, Twi, asking God to tread gently, acknowledging that although He's powerful, He's also gentle and loving.
