Verse 1
Fifty years of grace, a golden light shines bright,
Omobola walks in beauty, dancing in the light.
Born of Oyeleke’s line, a heritage so grand,
Now standing in her favor, across the blessed land.
January thirteenth came, the year is twenty-six,
A milestone of mercies that time can never mix.
Chorus
Oh, shout hallelujah! Omobola is fifty!
Daughter of honor, wise and so thrifty!
Wife to Evangelist Abolade Abolarinwa the bold,
Your life is a story of blessings untold!
Golden age, golden grace, let the drums play,
We celebrate your destiny on this glorious day!
Verse 2
Helpmeet to the preacher, pillar of the home,
Spreading truth and kindness wherever you may roam.
Abolade rejoices for the jewel by his side,
Fifty years of virtue, walking with holy pride.
From the roots of Oyeleke to the Abolarinwa name,
Your faith is your fire, your love is your flame.
Outro
Happy fiftieth birthday, Omobola, our queen!
The most beautiful golden jubilee we have seen!
May the grace of the Lord keep you strong, keep you true,
Shine on, favored daughter, God’s blessings on you!
