Blessed art thou son of David
Blessed art thou Ruth of Jesse
Blessed art thou son of David
Blessed art thou Ruth of Jesse
You are eminently glorious
Immaculately beautiful
I can go on and on
On and on
But my words aren’t enough
My vocabularies will fail me
But permit me to cry out
Iba o iba
Iba o iba

[Chorus]

Iba o iba
Iba o iba
Iba o iba
Iba o iba

Blessed art thou rock of ages
[Blessed art thou] Blessed art thou king of heaven
Blessed art thou rock ages [oh blessed art thou] Blessed art thou king of heaven

[All]

you are infinitely powerful
Magnificently wonderful
I can go on and on and on and on and on
And on…
But my words are not enough (they’re not enough)

Permit me to bring this song of victory
Iba o iba iba iba

[Bridge]

You tell the wind how hard to blow (ahhhhh)
And tell the rain how much to fall
You lay the pathway for the lighting (ahhhhhh)
Those who are wise will worship you
You are clothed endowlessly splendour (ahhhhhh)
I’m loved in this spring light
There’s not limit to your power (There can never be) (ahhhhhhhhh)

Both lead: Those who are wise will honor you

All/ Both: [Chants] Iba o iba (my God my father)
Iba o iba (I bow my heart in worship)
Iba o iba (just to say iba o iba)
Iba o iba (there’s no one like you Jesus)
Iba o iba (there’s no one like you my father)
Iba o iba (chants)

Iba o iba
Iba o iba
