He Knows My Name (Feat. Adzo and Jeffery)

from I'm Whole Again by Jervis Djokoto

/

about

Written in 4 different languages (Ga, Twi, English and Luganda—All spoken African languages), the song, with an acoustic guitar base, gives us a rich mixture of African and contemporary sounds and features gifted musicians from around the world. With an intricate blend of electronic elements, as well as rich percussive sounds, this release serves us with a continental mix of enchanting vocal textures and layers of soothing brass and pad tones. You are in for a real treat with this one! A taste of God’s love for vulnerable children like Ojororo, and a much-needed message for this time.

lyrics

“He Knows My Name” Lyrics

Introductory Voice Over
He’s the Father to the fatherless
He’s the Protector of the widows
He settles the solitary in a home
He leads your the prisoners to prosperity
That’s our God in His Holy habitation

He who honours the poor honours God
He who presses the poor,
shows contempt to his maker
That’s Jehovah God.

Verse 1
Even in my darkest days,
I know He knows me so much
Jehovah, Jehovah, Jehovah
I know He knows my name

I-am the ….apple of His eyes,
So He knows my name….
Haaaaa!!

Verse 2
I’ve been made
In His image, now I know,
I am not alone

No no no Iam not alone, Iam not alone….

Chorus 1
Jehovah knows me, he knows my name’
Jehovah God, I know He knows my name
Jehovah knows me, He knows my name’
Jehovah God ooooh..

Chorus in Luganda
Jehova amanyi, amanyi eri nya lyange
(Jehovah knows me, he knows my name)

Jehova mukama
(Jehovah knows me)

Verse 3
Now I will sing a song
To Him who was and is, snd is forever more
For all eternity

Asomdwe hene (prince of Peace) 2x

Verse 4
I’ve been saved Mm amazing Grace,
Now I know, I not on my own

Ojororo 2x

Chorus 2
Jehovah knows you, he knows your name’
Jehovah mukamah, watching over you
Jehovah Umanyin Amyi

The Lord of Sparrows

He’s watching over you

I know He loves me so much
Jehovah, Jehovah, Java
I know He knows my name
