PAPA YOU DO WELL. by Omaye Isaac — Lyrics
About PAPA YOU DO WELL.
"Papa You Do Well" is a vibrant, high-energy thanksgiving song that immediately lifts the spirit of any congregation. Written primarily in Nigerian Pidgin, it expresses a profound, overflowing gratitude to God for His countless blessings. The lyrics use colorful, everyday expressions like "denge pose" and "makiyanga" to describe the sheer joy and confidence that comes from God's goodness, making the song incredibly relatable and fun to sing.
Where this piece truly shines is in its extended chorus, which weaves together a medley of "thank you" phrases in multiple indigenous languages—including Yoruba, Igbo, Edo, Hausa, Tiv, and Igala. This multilingual celebration unites the whole church in a shared voice of praise. Choirs typically bring this out during the Offertory or Thanksgiving processions, where the infectious rhythm naturally invites the people to dance forward and present their gifts to "Papa God."
