Author’s Note:
I am not very good in the conventional note, thus the tune I used in composing this song is this hymn:
“My faith looks up to Thee
Thou Lamb of Calvary,
Savior Divine
Now hear me while I pray
Take all my sins away,
O let me from this day
Be wholly Thine”
I composed it in Yoruba (my dialect) and translated it to English from this I hope further translations could be made.
I will write it in Yoruba and enlish translation of it.
1. Mo gbẹkẹ mi le Ọ
Iwọ Ọlọrun mi
M’ẹgan mi lọ
Yọ mi ‘nu wahala
Ati ‘damu pupọ
To y’ọkan mi ka
Ọlọrun mi
2. Mase doju timi
Wọ to ngbọ adura
(Ni) mo ke pe Ọ
Ni ọjọ ipọnju
Jẹ ki orukọ rẹ
Ki o dabo bo mi
Ọlọrun mi
3. Mase se ilẹkun
Irọnu anu Rẹ
Mọ aye mi
Jẹki anu fọhun
Lor’ọrọ aye mi
Eyi ni mo bẹbẹ
Ọlọrun mi
Translation
1. I put my trust in you
You who are my God
R’move my reproach
Take me out of trouble
And much confusion
That surround my soul
Oh! My God
2. Put thou me not to shame
You that heareth prayer
I call on You
On the day of distress
(Oh) Let thine name
Be my protection
Oh! My God
3. Do not shut the door
Of thy tender mercy
Against my life
Let thy mercy speak
On plight of my life
‘Tis I pleaded for
Oh! My God
