Two songs, one heart of praise. EmmaOMG brings together “Oba Ni Jesu” and “Ebenezeri,” two Yoruba worship songs that crown Jesus as King and give thanks for the help of God.
Song one: “Oba Ni Jesu”
“Oba Ni Jesu” means “Jesus is King” in Yoruba. It is a simple, bold declaration that fits church services, Easter celebrations and any moment when you want to remind yourself who is on the throne. The song became a popular anthem among Nigerian believers, and its chorus is easy to sing along to.
Song two: “Ebenezeri”
“Ebenezeri” is the Yoruba form of Ebenezer, which means “stone of help.” The name comes from 1 Samuel 7:12, where Samuel set up a stone and said that thus far the Lord had helped them. It is a song of thanksgiving for how far God has brought you, and EmmaOMG has also shared it alongside Kent Edunjobi.
