Yin Oluwa Okan mi by Ike Al. Eseka — Lyrics
About Yin Oluwa Okan mi
"Yin Oluwa Okan Mi" is a vibrant Yoruba song of thanksgiving that draws its inspiration from the psalms, calling on the soul to praise God for His endless mercies. Arranged for four-part harmony by Ike Eseka, the piece opens with a joyful, rhythmic refrain where the choir declares their intent to praise His holy name with their whole being. It is a wonderful choice for the Offertory or as a lively thanksgiving hymn, giving the congregation a chance to reflect on God's protection.
The verses walk through the many ways God cares for His people. The melody line sings of forgiveness, the angels that guard us while we sleep, and the gift of life for our families. As the song progresses into the later verses, the text becomes a confident proclamation of victory—celebrating how God drives away sickness, sorrow, and the plans of the enemy. It is a deeply comforting and uplifting piece to sing, reminding everyone in the pews that God's watchful eye never leaves them.
