My God Lyrics English Translation by Bbo
BBO references biblical figures – Sarah’s late motherhood, Joseph’s rise from prison, David’s kingship – as evidence of divine fidelity. Boluwatife sings directly: ‘Covenant God, be my strength, because sometimes I feel like giving up.’ The lyrics move from personal need to communal exhortation, urging perseverance through scriptural examples.
