Nathaniel Bassey – Agbanilagbatan | Lyrics

Read the lyrics for “Agbanilagbatan” from the “The Life Recording” project self-produced by Nathaniel Bassey.

The title is a declaration that doesn’t need translation. “Agbanilagbatan” opens with a repeated line that anchors the entire track: “Oluwa ti sheun nla / Te ni kan kan o le she” — “The Lord has done great things / No one can do what He does.” The narrator is naming a truth that doesn’t require proof, a recognition that the work has already been done.

The chorus is built around a single, repeated phrase: “Oshe Baba, oshe omo” — “Thank You, Father, thank You, Son” . The repetition functions as a mantra, a way of grounding the listener in the act of gratitude. The title itself appears in the bridge: “Agbanilagbatan oh” — “The complete Deliverer” . It’s a line that carries the weight of the entire song, a reminder that the deliverance is complete.

The second half of the track shifts to English, a direct address to a wider audience: “We thank You, Lord / We thank You, Lord.” The repetition functions as a bridge between languages, a recognition that gratitude is a universal language. The track closes on a final repetition of the title, a final declaration that the deliverance is complete. The song is a portrait of a faith that doesn’t need to be complicated, a reminder that sometimes the most powerful worship is the simplest.
