Igbega By Esther Oji: Igbega bravely conveys a message of victory and divine elevation that all audiences can relate to. The words convey how you are uplifted by the mighty hand of God, way up high … above any challenges or principalities (powers) thrown your way.
Chorus – Esther sang, “Lifted I am lifted high above principalities and power to worship.” This line is a beautiful reminder that despite all the struggles or fights, our faith in God lifts us up beyond everything else. It’s an anthem of victory, and Esther delivers the message with conviction as her voice soars.
The Yoruba lines, “Oti gbe oti gbe ori mi soke” (meaning “Jesus has lifted my head above all enemies”), are sauced with cultural outburst. It’s not like elevation of oneself, but elevating oneself with the divine. The saying “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” solidifies the fact that no matter what happens, God has already given you the victory.
Whether you are down and out or just need to know that God can pick you up from the bottom, “Igbega” is a song right at home. The song is both Universal and Timeless… it belongs in any gospel collection of music.
