About Repete! (In Praise of God's Love)
"Repete!" is a vibrant, high-energy praise anthem that celebrates the overwhelming and abundant love of God. Written in a lively mix of Nigerian Pidgin English and indigenous languages, the song is a joyful outpouring of gratitude for God's protection, provision, and peace. The title itself—a popular slang word for "plenty" or "abundant"—sets the tone for a piece that counts blessings one by one, from good health and family to business and peace of mind.
Choirs often bring this piece out during Thanksgiving services, Harvest celebrations, or as a rousing Recessional hymn. Its lyrics weave together familiar expressions of praise from across Nigeria, including the Igbo "Imela" and "Chineke idi mma," the Efik "Amanam," and the Yoruba "dobale" (to prostrate in respect). The use of vivid ideophones like "kakaraka" (strong/firm) and "kamkpe" (steadfast) gives the song a deeply relatable, grassroots feel that instantly connects with the congregation.
Singing "Repete!" is an invitation to dance and rejoice. The melody drives forward with infectious rhythmic energy, building up to a spirited bridge that simply declares God's goodness. It is a piece that reminds the faithful that if God were a man, they might not have seen today, making it a powerful, relatable testimony of divine grace.
