PAPA YOU DO WELL

"Papa You Do Well" is a vibrant, high-energy praise song that captures the joyful spirit of Nigerian thanksgiving. Written primarily in Nigerian Pidgin, the song is a lively testimony to God's goodness. The lyrics speak of searching far and wide since the days of Adam, only to find that no one compares to "Papa God." With its infectious rhythm, the piece naturally invites the choir and congregation to dance, celebrating the "boku boku" (abundant) blessings that make believers want to "denge pose" and "meki yanga" (boast and show off) in the Lord.

Originally composed by Omaye Asagu for the 2010 National Choir Conference of Nigeria (NCCN) in Kaduna, this piece is built for grand, festive occasions. The music transitions into a beautiful litany of thanks, echoing gratitude in different tongues, including the Hausa "Mun gode." It is an excellent choice for Thanksgiving processions, Recessional hymns, or any moment in the liturgy dedicated to uninhibited, joyful praise.
