Good things have happened ooo!
Come let us praise the Almighty God
For He has done well

(Local Salutation)

It happened!
Good thing has happened ooo!
It happened!
Good thing has happened ooo!
Come let us praise the Almighty God
For He has done well
(Local Salutation)

King in Heaven we greet you.
King we greet you
Your children are greeting you.
We are saying Daddy you have done well
for the good things you have done.

Almighty God we greet you
King in Heaven we greet you
I will bow my head on the ground and greet you
I will raise my hand in worship
The cripple appreciates you
The blind appreciates you
The birds in the air appreciates you
Every living thing give you thanks

King in Heaven we greet you
We greet you
Nigeria greets you
Africa greets you

The Grace of God is sufficient for me
The grace of going out and coming in is sufficient for me
The Grace of God is sufficient for me
God is my world, God is good
Your Grace is sufficient for me

The grace of being pregnant, the grace of childbirth and the Grace of carrying my child
God is my world, God is good
The Grace for a child to creep and the Grace of a child to tooth
God is my world, God is good
The Grace of a child to walk
Do you know that a child born a few months ago is running now?

Grace of God is sufficient, Grace is good
Grace of God is sufficient, Grace is good
Grace of God is sufficient, Grace is good
Grace of God is sufficient, Grace is good
Hear what I am saying
I will tell you a story
God is my God, God is my world
Almighty God is my world
Creator of my world is my own
God is my God, God is my world
Good is my God, God is good
Good is my God, God is beautiful
God is my God, God is my world
Good is my God, God is good
Good is my God, God is beautiful
God is my God, Almighty God in heaven
King of Heaven, I give my life to you

Hear what I am saying
I will tell you a story

God is my God, God is my world
Almighty God you are sweet
I bow down and worship you
I will dance and worship you

Assuming you are eating cocoyam, I would have given them to you
Assuming you are eating yam, I would have given them to you

What I came with is praise
What I came with is Worship
God is my God
