Halleluyah! Oh Lord we thank You!
My boy Israel, you are thirteen today!
Chukwu Na-eme Mma, we praise Your name!
Born July tenth, thirteen years of grace,
Israel Obarewo, look at your handsome face!
Our light-skinned boy in JSS3 so bright, you are mommy’s delight.
Though your mother is sleeping with the Lord above,
Auntie is here to cover you with double love.
With Angel your big sister, and Hannah by your side,
Oluwa’s mighty hand will always be your guide!
Eseun Baba for Israel our king! (Ese o!)
Today we dance, today we sing!
You are thirteen, God’s favor is your crown,
No weapon formed shall ever bring you down!
Our sensitive boy, so precious and so sweet,
Jehovah will make your life complete!
Imela! Imela! Papa you too much!
They say you look like me, my gentle star,
A fragile gold, shining from afar.
I pamper you like a baby, my softest spot,
We thank God for life, we thank Him for peace,
For the Obarewo family, blessings will never cease!
Eseun Baba for Israel our king! (Ese o!)
Today we dance, today we sing!
You are thirteen, God’s favor is your crown,
No weapon formed shall ever bring you down!
Our sensitive boy, so precious and so sweet,
Jehovah will make your life complete!
Imela! Imela! Papa you too much!
Thirteen years of grace!
Israel, you are blessed forever!
Angel, Hannah, and Aunty love you!
Halleluyah! Amen!
