Baba Hold Me Close

Baba, I dey cry for You

You be the Father wey remain

Mama don leave this world, Papa follow go

Small pikin like me, where I go run go?

The nights so dark, I dey fear alone

But I hear Your voice say "You're not on your own"

Eseun Baba, even when tears dey fall

You be my shelter, You be my all

Chukwu, I know say You dey see my pain

You be the Father wey go forever remain

Baba hold me close, don't let me go

You be the love wey I need to know

Imela, Olorun mi, wipe my tears away

You be my Father today and every day

Halleluyah! You never leave me

Sometimes I wonder why them go so soon

But Your Word tell me say You dey make all things new

You collect broken heart, You dey heal the wound

Ekwueme, faithful God, my morning go come soon

I go trust You Lord, even when e hard

You be the light for my path when the road get dark

Baba hold me close, don't let me go

You be the love wey I need to know

Imela, Olorun mi, wipe my tears away

You be my Father today and every day

Chineke! You're all I need

Baba, na You be my family now

You too much, I go trust You anyhow
