LYRICS: Chioma Jesus – Akwam Metu Gi
[Verse 1]
I will lift up my eyes
Unto the hills
Unto everywhere
Wherewith my helper comes from
I have cried and cried
I have waited for You Lord
Akwam metu gi nobi o
Nsogbu mu metukwa gi nobi o
Akwam mebe metu nu gi nobi o
Akwam metu gi nobi o
[Chorus]
Akwam metu nu gi nobi o
(Akwam metu nu gi nobi o)
Obakoro mu metu gi nobi o (Chukwu okike, Akwam metu nu gi nobi o)
Let my cry touch You Lord (Chukwu okike, Akwam metu nu gi nobi o)
Let my sorrow come before You oh (Chukwu okike, Akwam metu nu gi nobi o)
Let my pain touch You, Abba Father (Chukwu okike, Akwam metu nu gi nobi o)
Touch me Lord, answer me Lord, change me Lord (Chukwu okike, Akwam metu nu gi nobi o)
[Verse 2]
Akwam metu
Heed my cry
Onyekan ga kosaro uwan
Onyega amu chimen ebe
Who will answer me when I call
Onyege nyen emu di akan
Who will give me my own baby
Iyoro timember mercy
Niwegi chet’ebere gi
In Your anger remember Your love
Jehovah show me mercy
I cry for mercy
I cry for You love
Compassionate God
Let my weeping touch Your heart
Iri bajo omu me mama
Onyege bu zo
Create in me a clean heart
Oh Lord
And renew a right spirit within me
Cast me not away from Thy presence oh Lord
Take not away Thy Spirit within me
Restore to my the joy of my salvation
Oh Jehovah Jireh
Neluwa nara nibu chimo
Onye ne nyenwa
Akwam metu nu gi nobi o

[Interlude]
[Bridge]
(Singing in Igbo)
Everything is turning against me
But I have my hope in You
I know You will turn things around for my favour
Jehovah Jireh
You will never abandon me
You will never reject me
You are my divine helper
Show me mercy
Weeping may endure for a night but I know my time of joy has come
Ooh, Akwam metu nu gi nobi o
[Chorus]
Akwam metu nu gi nobi o
(Akwam metu nu gi nobi o)
Let my suffering touch You (Chukwu okike, Akwam metu nu gi nobi o)
You are the lifter of my soul (Chukwu okike, Akwam metu nu gi nobi o)
When others are saying there is casting down (Chukwu okike, Akwam metu nu gi nobi o)
Chioma Jesus, I will say there is lifting up (Chukwu okike, Akwam metu nu gi nobi o)
Oh Lord lift me from this pit oh (Chukwu okike, Akwam metu nu gi nobi o)
[Outro]
Akwam kwara ya metu ni nobi o
