[INTRO — Spoken over talking drum / percussion] Listen
to
me
Baba
I
have
spent
my
years
supporting
others.
I
gave
my
gifts,
my
time,
and
my
strength.
I
stood
by
people,
I
blessed
people,
I
helped
others
find
their
way.
Yet
those
close
to
me
made
a
mockery
of
me.
They
smiled
at
my
face,
but
spoke
against
me
behind
my
back.
But
today,
I
hand
it
all
over
to
God.
Olúwa,
dìde
fún
mi.
Bàbá,
gbé
mi
ga.
Let
Your
hand
speak
for
me. ---
[VERSE 1] I
poured
myself
out
to
build
other
people,
I
watered
every
gift
You
placed
around
me.
My
hands
were
busy
blessing,
My
heart
remained
faithful.
But
while
I
was
lifting
others,
Mockery
followed
me.
Whispers
filled
secret
places,
But
You
see,
Lord,
You
know
the
truth.
I
may
have
been
overlooked,
But
I
was
never
forgotten. ---
[PRE-CHORUS] I
will
not
be
moved,
I
will
not
be
shaken,
Because
the
Lord
is
with
me.
What
God
has
ordained
for
me,
No
man
can
cancel.
What
You
have
opened,
No
man
can
shut.
Olúwa,
gbé
mi
ga
o! ---
[CHORUS] Father,
lift
me
up!
Lift
me
higher!
Open
doors
no
man
can
shut.
Let
Your
favour
speak
for
me.
Fún
mi
ní
ọrọ̀
àti
ọlá,
Fún
mi
ní
àánú
àti
oore.
Give
me
wealth
and
honour,
Give
me
mercy
and
favour.
Let
prosperity
and
success
locate
me.
Let
Your
blessings
overflow
in
my
life.
Dìde,
Olúwa,
dìde
fún
mi,
Dìde,
Olúwa,
dìde
fún
mi,
Against
every
enemy
dressed
as
a
friend.
Let
every
evil
plan
come
to
nothing,
Let
every
voice
of
mockery
be
silenced.
For
the
same
God
who
lifted
others
through
me
Is
now
lifting
me.
You
have
lifted
me!
You
have
lifted
me!
You
have
lifted
me!
You
have
lifted
me! ---
[VERSE 2] I
am
not
without
gifts,
Everything
I
have
came
from
You.
I
used
what
You
gave
me
to
serve,
Not
only
for
personal
gain.
They
called
me
a
failure,
But
You
called
me
chosen.
They
saw
my
weakness,
But
You
saw
my
destiny.
Smiles
in
front
of
me,
Scorn
behind
me...
But
Your
eyes
are
always
upon
me,
O
Lord.

Those
who
laugh
at
me,
watch
and
see;
What
the
Lord
has
done,
no
one
can
stop. ---
[BRIDGE — Build gradually] My
God
never
sleeps,
My
God
never
slumbers.
Turn
my
pain
into
praise.
Turn
my
tears
into
testimony.
Turn
every
season
of
shame
Into
a
season
of
honour.
Let
the
world
see
Your
hand
upon
my
life
And
know
that
You
are
God.
You
raise
the
forgotten
from
the
dust,
You
lift
the
lowly
from
the
ashes,
You
set
them
among
princes.

Lift
me
to
a
higher
place,
Lift
me
higher
than
they
ever
imagined. ---
FINAL
CHORUS —
Father,
lift
me
up!
Lift
me
higher!
Open
the
gates
of
blessing
for
me.
Let
Your
favour
surround
me.
Grant
me
wealth,
Grant
me
honour,
Grant
me
success.
Fún

Give
me
riches,
Give
me
honour,
Give
me
peace.
Arise,
O
Lord,
Let
every
enemy
in
disguise
Be
disappointed.
Let
every
evil
expectation
Turn
into
a
testimony.
Because
You,
O
Lord,
Have
lifted
me!
