Chorus

Adom o! Oye n’adom
Adom yi na ama me tsease
Odze agye m’ taataa
Kyere m’ kwan pa

Translation

It is by His Grace
That I am alive
That He has led me
And showed me the paths of righteousness
So that I will walk on those paths


Verse 1
Emi nkye mense, enkye me mfata o!
Ewuradze de no do, odo a onyi ewie
(Adeda nfikyire o, Nyame dze m’aba fie)
W’ama m’ asetena pa, na nkwa onyi ewie
Ewuradze mo som wo, na ma tow wo ho ndwom


I did not deserve it
But the Lord, out of His unending love
(An outcast, the Lord has brought me home)
He has given me a good and everlasting life
So I will serve You and sing about You


Verse 2
Owu mu anaa, ohaw anaa
Enyitan anaa, amandzi mu anaa
Calvary oguamba n’, odze n’adom adom hen koraa
Amansan nyinaa, hom mboa ma me yi Ewuradze ayew


In death or in grief
Whether despised or troubled
The Lamb of Calvary showers us with Grace
May all creation join me to praise Him

Verse 1

Father, lover of my soul, when I was lost in sin
You came right into me, You changed me
Jesus, when hope was lost, when I was down and out
You came right into me, You changed me

Chorus

I love You, I thank You, For all that You’ve done for me
You gave me salvation, And now I say that You are mine
Forever I’ll serve You, You gave up Your life for me
Let all that’s in me praise the Lord

Verse 2

Saviour, Giver of new life, You died that I may live
Your power at work in me, Makes all the difference
Now my life has been changed, And I have peace within me
And a reason for living, ‘Cos You changed me

Bridge

(There’s good reason to praise you)
As I’ve come to know you Lord, Now my life is so complete
When I’m down, Your hand is there to hold me
So all that’s in me, Let all that’s in me (Praise the Lord)
I love You, I thank You
Let all that’s in me (Praise the Lord)

Coda

I love You Lord, Love You Lord, I love you, I love you, O how I love You.

Barima Yesu

*Written by Ace Anan Ankomah & Solomon Ocquaye

Lead Vocal by Josephine Anan-Ankomah

Chorus

Barima Yesu ama me enigye
W’ama m’akoma ato me yem
W’ama me ahoto
Bewu gye me nkwa
Ono na okyere me se
Orengyae me dabiara da
Wo m’asetna yi mu
Nti mensuro hwee

Translation

The Man Jesus has given me Joy
He has given me satisfaction
He has given me peace
He died to save me
He has taught me
That He will never leave me
In all of my life time
So I shall not be afraid


Verse 1
Mommra mmehwe odo a, Yesu de ado me:
Ode ne nkwa to ho, bewu gye me nkwa
Nanso wo buu no animtia
Na mmarima paa no
Oye Onipa a onim ayayadee
Oye Onipa a onim oyaree
Wafa me nyarewa nyinaa
Wasoa m’ayayade nyinaa
Nanso wo buu no se nea wahwe no
Nea Onyame aka n’ahye bone mu
Me bone nti na wokum no
Me amumoye nti na wohwee no
M’asomdwoe ho asotwe so da no so
Ne pira-kruu mu na wa sa me yare

Translation

I invite you experience the love of Jesus:
He laid down His live and died me
But he was despised
And rejected of men
He was a man of sorrows
Acquainted with grief
He bore all of my diseases
He carried all of my sorrows
Yet he was esteemed as one who was stricken
One whom the Lord had smitten and afflicted
He was wounded for my transgressions
He was bruised for my iniquities
The chastisement of my peace was upon Him
By His stripes I am healed



Verse 2

Oyii ne mu faa akowa tebea too ne ho so
Dane onipa se so
Oberee ne ho ase
Yee osetie de kosii owuo mu
Asendua so wuo mpo
Nti na Nyame ama ne so
Ama no din a esen edin nyinaa
Nti Yesu din mu
Kotodwe nyinaa koto
Tekyerema nyinaa pae mu ka se
Yesu ne Ewurade
Barima Yesu eei (2X) Osabarima Yesu eei
Ohen ne wo, Agyapa ne wo, Agyenkwa ne wo
Adeshe mogya, na ode agye me
Efi atekye dontori mu
Ama menso m’asebi
Oye me Barima Yesu
M’Agyenkwa, m’ahooden, m’enidaso

Translation

He took upon Him the form of a servant
Made Himself into the likeness of men
He humbled Himself
Was obedient unto death
Even the death on the cross
Wherefore God has highly exalted Him
And given Him a name that is above every name
That at the name of Jesus
Every knee should bow
And every tongue should confess
That Jesus is Lord
He is King, Everlasting Father and Saviour
He redeemed me with His precious blood
From the miry clay
And has given me dignity
He is indeed my Man - Jesus
My Saviour, My Strength and My Hope
