[Nigerian Pidgin] Unshaken

Lyrics

[Intro — Gentle, Reverent, Building]

Oh-oh-oh, Baba God,  
Higher dan sun, na You dey stand.  
When tings for ground dey tumble low,  
Your holy seat dey shine and glow.

Hallelujah, hallelujah,  
You dey reign forever.  
Hallelujah, hallelujah,  
Na You be our shelter.

[Verse 1 — Refuge in the Storm]

For You, my soul dey find rest,  
When wahala come, You be my chest.  
Why I go run dey find escape,  
Like scared bird wey dey find safe place?

When danger dey tell me, "Make you waka,"  
Your presence dey give me strength, oh Baba.  
I no dey run, I stand dey fight,  
Na You be my saving light.

[Verse 2 — Arrows in the Darkness]

Dem wicked people draw their bow,  
Dem arrow dey aim, dem no dey show.  
Hidden under night, dem dey come,  
To find dem way to righteous ones.

When truth dey scatter, justice dey tire,  
Foundation dey shake, no be lie.  
When righteous cry, "Wetin remain?"  
Na Your power still dey sustain.

[Pre-Chorus — Faith Above Fear]

When ground dey shake for we feet,  
When world dey break, we no dey quit.  
Na You dey still, forever true,  
Our hope na You, we dey look to.

[Chorus — Unshaken]

Unshakable, unshakable,  
Your throne no go fall at all!  
Above the heavens, You dey rule,  
You dey see us, judge us all.

Unshakable, unshakable,  
Na You we dey hold tight.  
When all piller for earth dey fall,  
Your light dey shine so bright.

Oh-oh-oh, You reign forever,  
Through fire and rain, You dey cover.  
Unshakable, unshakable,  
Na You dey remain the same!

[Verse 3 — The Holy Throne]

For Your holy place, You dey reign,  
In majesty and grace, You no dey faint.  
Your throne dey high, for sky it dey,  
No secret thing fit hide away.

You dey search deep for every soul,  
Each hidden thought, wey dey goal.  
No heart go escape Your sight,  
You judge with Your pure light.

[Verse 4 — The Testing of Hearts]

Both just and unjust dey for Your eye,  
Dem heart dey show, no dey hide.  
You dey test the faithful, prove dem song,  
Through wahala, dem praise go strong.

But those wey like to do bad things,  
Wey dey happy when others dey bleed,  
Your holy self no go dey share,  
Violence and You no dey pair.

[Pre-Chorus — The Righteous Judge]

You dey know every heart,  
All pikin, from the start.  
Mercy dey, but justice stand,  
Na You hold creation hand.

[Chorus — Unshaken]

Unshakable, unshakable,  
Your throne no go fall at all!  
Above the heavens, You dey rule,  
You dey see us, judge us all.

Unshakable, unshakable,  
Na You we dey hold tight.  
When all piller for earth dey fall,  
Your light dey shine so bright.

Oh-oh-oh, You reign forever,  
Through fire and rain, You dey cover.  
Unshakable, unshakable,  
Na You dey remain the same!

[Verse 5 — The Judgment of Evil]

Judgment go fall on wicked head,  
Like fire wey dey burn dem stead.  
Burning sulphur, fire from sky,  
Answer to violence wey dem try.

Scorching tempest fill dem cup,  
Bitter portion, dem go chop.  
No hidden darkness fit endure,  
Before Your judgment, pure and sure.

[Verse 6 — The Promise of His Face]

You be righteous, Lord of light,  
Your judgment pure, always right.  
You cherish deeds of truth and grace,  
Honor those wey find Your ways.

The upright go see Your face,  
And stand before Your throne of grace.  
Beyond shadows, fear, and night,  
Dem go see Your glory bright.

[Bridge — Prayer When Foundations Fall]

Baba God, hear our cry,  
When earth hope don finish, no more try.  
When ground dey shake under our leg,  
When we no fit find place to beg.

Check our heart, change our way,  
But keep us safe through testing day.  
Make our trials no be end,  
Be our Saviour and our Friend.

Show Your love, O holy Son,  
Jesus Christ, di Chosen One.  
Through am, heal di broken soul,  
Bring us healing, make us whole.

Oh, heal us, Lord, heal us again,  
Through every sorrow, every pain.  
In Jesus Christ, our hope dey sure,  
Your love and mercy go endure.

[Final Chorus — Triumphant, Full Choir]

Unshaken, unshaken,

Above di heavens, You dey reign,

Unshaken, unshaken,  
Na You be our refuge for night.  
When all earthly pillar fall,

You love wetin pure, You love wetin true,  
Our hearts don turn in faith to You.

And live inside Your holy grace.

Unshaken, unshaken,

From generation to generation,

[Outro — Soft, Prayerful]

When foundations fall, You dey still.  
When shadows rise, You dey reign.  
When hearts dey test, hear our prayer,  
O God of heaven, meet us there.

Through Jesus Christ, restore and heal,  
Your truth, Your justice, love reveal.

Hallelujah, hallelujah,  
Your throne dey high above.  
Hallelujah, hallelujah,  
Our refuge, righteous God.

Unshaken...  
Forever unshaken...  
Amen.
