The song is titled "I Have Seen (Baba God)" and is from Toyebi,
an amiable Nigerian born gospel music minister. Toyebi is based in the
United States of America and has worked with the likes of Darnell Davis & the Remnant,
Sonnie Badu,Tosinger, Kenny K'ore, Lanre Olagbaju, Joy
Ike, Mike Dreams, Mike Aremu and Midnight Crew. Obviously, he is not a green horn.
On
this track, he manages to give us a home-drenched sound even though he
worked with some international instrumentalists on it. Some of the said
instrumentals are known to work with top international gospel artistes
like Israel Houghton.
Our
versatile 'home boy', Toyebi, gives us a homegrown sound on this one
but also hinted that he would release some western grown sound in due
time.
Today, we have more than the song right here for you. We've got
the lyrics too. Go ahead, download and soak yourself in this tune.Lyrics
Chorus:
I have seen your goodness
Seen your favor
Seen your mercy
Baba God, you too much
Seen your goodness
Seen your favor
Seen your mercy
Baba God, you too much eh!
Verse 1:
I have seen your goodness in times of adversity
I have seen your favor
When I didn’t deserve it coming to me
I’ve experienced your mercy
Showers of blessings rain over me
I’ll sing your praise for all eternity
Pre-Chorus 1:
I don’t have to beg
I don’t have to borrow
I don’t have to beg or plead
You supply my every need
You have always been right there
So I praise you right now
I know you are for me, so who can be against me
(Chorus)
Verse 2:
Times without number
You listen to me when I call
I can always count on you
With Baba I can never fall
You hold me securely
In the palm of your mighty hand
Through trials and testing
Your love has never failed
Pre-Chorus 2:
Once I was younger
And now I am older
I’ve never seen the righteous forsaken
Nor his seed begging for bread
I will live and not die
This is the plan that you have for me
You said it in your word, I believed in my heart
Now I have seen,
(Chorus)
Bridge :
You will never leave me
You will never forsake me
Even when I don’t deserve it
Your mercy still upholds me
You will never leave me
(Never leave me, never leave me, never leave me, oh no)
You will never forsake me
(Won’t forsake me, won’t forsake me, won’t forsake me, no no!)
Even when I don’t deserve your favor and your grace
(Even when I don’t deserve your mercy)
Your mercy still upholds me
(Chorus)
(Chorus)
I have seen your goodness
Seen your favor
Seen your mercy
Baba God, you too much
Seen your goodness
Seen your favor
Seen your mercy
Baba God, you too much eh!
