[Intro] Nna!
Oya!
Today
we
celebrate
a
king!
Chai!
See
the
grace
of
God
upon
one
man.
[Verse 1] Oh,
what
a
day
to
see
the
sun
rise
high
We
gather
round
to
hear
the
eagle
cry
For
Ben,
the
man
whose
heart
is
made
of
gold
A
story
of
a
love
that
never
will
grow
cold
You
listen
to
the
young
and
to
the
old
Your
wisdom
is
a
treasure
to
behold
With
humble
hands
you
lift
the
broken
soul
You
make
the
weary
spirit
feel
so
whole.
[Chorus] Happy
birthday,
Ben,
our
brother
so
dear
May
your
laughter
ring
out
through
every
year
For
the
husband,
the
father,
the
friend
you
have
been
You
are
the
finest
man
that
we
have
ever
seen
From
the
roots
to
the
stars,
may
your
legacy
grow
God
bless
you,
Ben,
everywhere
you
go
Oh,
Ekene,
your
life
is
a
light
Shining
so
steady,
shining
so
bright.
[Verse 2] Look
at
your
home,
a
fortress
built
on
grace
A
perfect
love
reflected
in
your
face
To
your
wife
and
your
children,
you
give
your
all
You
stand
like
an
Iroko,
you
never
will
fall
To
your
siblings
and
family,
you
are
the
key
A
fountain
of
kindness
for
all
to
see
Merciful,
helpful,
a
man
of
his
word
The
finest
prayers
for
you
today
are
heard.
[Chorus] Happy
birthday,
Ben,
our
brother
so
dear
May
your
laughter
ring
out
through
every
year
For
the
husband,
the
father,
the
friend
you
have
been
You
are
the
finest
man
that
we
have
ever
seen
From
the
roots
to
the
stars,
may
your
legacy
grow
God
bless
you,
Ben,
everywhere
you
go
Oh,
Odiba,
your
life
is
a
light
Shining
so
steady,
shining
so
bright.
[Bridge] May
the
Lord
preserve
you,
keep
you
safe
from
harm
May
you
walk
forever
with
a
steady
arm
To
the
fifth
generation,
let
your
lineage
bloom
Dispelling
every
shadow,
every
single
gloom
Chop
life
today,
Ben,
let
the
music
play!
God’
s
best
manifestations
come
your
way!
[Verse 3] May
the
heavens
open,
pouring
out
the
best
May
your
every
labor
be
a
holy
rest
In
Jesus'
name,
let
prosperity
flow
Let
the
fruits
of
your
kindness
continue
to
grow
From
Kogi
to
Lagos,
the
story
is
clear
Ben
is
a
man
we
all
hold
so
dear
Omo,
you
are
special,
you
are
truly
blessed
Above
all
the
rest,
you
pass
every
test.
[Chorus] Happy
birthday,
Ben,
our
brother
so
dear
May
your
laughter
ring
out
through
every
year
For
the
husband,
the
father,
the
friend
you
have
been
You
are
the
finest
man
that
we
have
ever
seen
From
the
roots
to
the
stars,
may
your
legacy
grow
God
bless
you,
Ben,
everywhere
you
go
Oh,
Benjamen,
your
life
is
a
light
Shining
so
steady,
shining
so
bright.
