"EBEZINA" - What a powerful song!!!

About two months ago, I was itching to listen to some deep Christian Nigerian and foreign songs (not the "shake body" types void of the spiritual backups) because the ones I had were getting too "common" and watery to me, I then told my dear brother Dickson to get me some CDs (collections); he came back with many CDs including one mp3 CD full of about 70 songs I didn't really know and sincerely yours I was cross with him, but I took it in good faith and embarked upon this journey of listening to all the songs (over 120 in all). That was the first time I listened to the whole track of Frank Edwards, Sinach (to discover that most of the worship songs I sing were her songs), but the one that captivated me most was an IBO song (amazing isn't it? even when I did not know the meaning of the lyrics, although I later dug it out) called "EBEZINA" by Preye Odede (got to know his name just yesterday). Since that day, no day passes without me listening to this song, every hour of the day, infact i make sure I run out my phone battery over night just because of this song; I later got to know that this song emanated from Preye's personal experiences, and a reassurance from God that HE IS STILL GOD!!!
Are you there going through some rough times or even good times, GOD IS GOD all by HIMSELF; Circumstances or situations do not define GOD, HE calls the shots, changes times and seasons, turns the table around to favour HIS own, all you need do is TRUST HIM. I leave you with the lyrics of this powerful song that has ministered to me continuously for over 2 months.

He's the same God
Who was there for you in the midnight hour.
He's the same God 
Who is able to wipe your tears away.
He's the same God 
Who was there in times of lack and want
He's the same God 
He's Jehovah, my great provider

Tell me why you're giving up on God
Tell me why you're giving up on Him
Tell me why you're giving up on God
Hold on, change is on the way

Ebezina, (... Don't you cry)
Chukwunonso (God is so close)
Ọgịnị bụ nsogbu gị? (What is your problem?)
Ị mana ọdịghị adịgide (Don't you know that God doesn't TAKE LONG)
Nwanne muo  (My Beloved)
Jidesie Ya ike (Hold Him TIGHT)
Hichaa anya gị eh (Wipe your EYES)
Chukwu adịghị atụ asị (God never lies)
Ọ ga-adịrị gị mma. (It's gonna be ALRIGHT)

Don't you cry the change is here
Weeping may endure for a night
Joy's gonna come in the morning
You don't have to cry no more
Hold God by His words
He's gonna do what He says
Lift your hands and give Him praise oo.....


I know you've been crying
I understand
I know you've been wounded
But it's okay
I know you've been broken
But I'm here to mend your broken heart

Believe in Me,
you will overcome
Yesterday will be your story
I'm the God of all flesh
Nothing is too hard for Me to do, yes!

Call: Don't forget
Response: I calmed the sea
Call: Don't forget now
Response: I raised the dead
Call: Don't forget
Response: I came to die that you might live, Forever...
Don't you cry it's gonna be over
You will overcome today
Wipe your eyes and give Him all the praise


Oga diri gi mma…
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
Oga diri gi mma…
