Oke Tente by Kent Edunjobi is a deeply moving gospel music piece rooted in Yoruba praise and spiritual assurance. Now available for stream on our blog, this powerful song opens with the chorus: “Mo ti g’oke tente, Oluwa ma je n jabo” — a cry from a believer who has been lifted high by God and now pleads not to fall. It’s a prayer many Christians can relate to, especially those walking by faith and not by sight.
With clear references to Psalm 125:1, the song says: “Eni gb’oju Oluwa o a da bi Oke Sioni” (Those who trust in the Lord will be like Mount Zion). This message reminds every worshipper and believer that God’s support is stable and unfailing. The song continues with faith-filled declarations in Verses 1 & 2, reinforcing that “Ah eh mo mo mi o le jabo” (I know I won’t fall). The singer describes God as the lifter of his head, his shelter, and the One who never sleeps—assurances that resonate deeply with gospel listeners.
