Daddy, Though you are now eighty
Yet you are still hasty
And have become unstoppable
But getting more formidable
Reaching for the souls not yet saved
And for the lands not yet gained
We hear you loud
That we haven’t reached the cloud
Far away is the Mars
Preaching to the Mass
You would usually say, we haven’t started yet
Till we build an auditorium at best
As large as Ibadan city
For this is befitting
But not yet the line of finishing
The first was in front of Lagos Ibadan Expressway
We thought those were the best days
Yet at your behest, we kept moving
And always looking
For where you would take us next
No doubt, will be the best
The second and third auditoriums were of many metres
And now it is an auditorium of three by three kilometres
GOD SUPPLIES THE STRENGTH FOR THE JOURNEY
How oftentimes I have asked
Why is your body so tasked?
At an age twice that of a youth
You said because you refused to be a fool
And since a fool at forty, is a fool forever
You would rather be godly and live with Jesus forever
The fool said in his heart, there is no God
And refuses to seek his God
But you heard what God said in His Word
Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth
Little wonder you became the G O of RCCG as a youth
The glory of the youth is in their strength
The glory of the elderly is in their grey hair
As you wait upon the Lord He shall renew your strength
The Lord will carry you even to your hoary hair
DREAMS DON’T DIE, WITH GOD, THEY BECOME REALITY
At such a young age
You had become a sage
And never to be caged
You ran with speed, the race
Desiring to become the youngest Vice Chancellor
Of one of the universities in Nigeria, which is just one nation
But God had for you a better plan of a Pioneer Chancellor
Of the best private university, Redeemer’s University of All Nations
You desired a house in a city
But instead, God decided to build you a city
BIGGER DREAMS AND JUBILEE CELEBRATIONS IN THE YEAR OF TRIPLE DOUBLE
Daddy, as you turn eighty years
In the year of triple double
For you, GOD will make all things triple double
In the year RCCG turning seventy years
In the year RCCG will be celebrating forty years
It moved to the Camp Ground
A Holy Habitation of God and His presence all around
It is the year of jubilation
It is the year of celebrations
It is a year of new beginning in every nation
Let us roll out the drums
It is a year of triumphs
Clap your hands, O ye people!
It is the year of blessings in triples
Shout with a shout of praise!
It is the year of multiple grace
Praise God with the instruments of worship
And bow before the throne of the only Lordship
Let everything that has breath praise the Lord!
Let somebody shout Halleluyah!
HALLELUJAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
