Hello everyone, hope you're all doing great?,I'm glad that I have the opportunity to participate in Afri- tunes this week. Today, I will be presenting a song By Tope Akinpelu titled Amokoko. The first time I listened to the song was when I was invited to a concert. I love the way they sang it that day, and this prompted me to search for the song, it's been long though.
Amokoko is a Yoruba language in Nigeria, which means THE POTTER in English. The song is all about giving ourselves wholly to God and allowing him to take control over our lives, he's gonna mold us according to his will and when he does that, our life will be more better. In everything we do in life, we should not forget God, we should allow his will to be done in our lives because anything that comes from him is all good.
Intro
Sebi Iwo lamo koko aye ni o (but You are the Potter of my life)
Oluwa mo mi, mo mi boo se fe (mould me according to Your will)
Sebi Iwo lamo koko aye ni o (but You are the Potter of my life)
Oluwa mo mi, mo mi boo se fe (mould me according to Your will)
Chorus
Bi o ba no mi (if You mould me)
Ma ri boo se fe eh eh (I'll look exactly the way You want me to)
Bi o ba mo mi (if You mould)
Aye mi adun wo oh oh (my life will be pleasant to behold)
Sebi Iwo lamo koko aye ni o (but You are the potter of my life)
Oluwa mo mi, mo mi boo se fe (mould me according to Your will)
Verse 1
O m' aye Saul odi Paul (You mould the life of Saul to Paul)
O m' aye Saul, O so d' olori ire (You mould the life of Paul and make him fortunate)
O m' aye Saul odi Paul (You mould the life of Saul to Paul)
O m' aye Saul, O so d' olori ire (You mould the life of Paul and make him fortunate)
Chorus
Verse 2
O m' aye Jabesi, oloruko ibanuje (You mould the life of Jabez, the child of sorrow)
O m' aye Jabesi, O so d' olori ire (You mould the life of Jabez and make him fortunate)
O m' aye Jabesi, oloruko ibanuje (You mould the life Jabez, the child of sorrow)
O m' aye Jabesi, O so d' olori ire (You mould the life of Jabez and make him fortunate)
Chorus 2x
Thanks for stopping by

Dear @maryjacy
You really did well trying to hit those high notes, you sang on high pitch and I see that you're really good at it...
"The clay and the potter" Hmmm, there's allot to say about this actually. I know that a potter cannot mold a hard or dried clay and even if he succeeds in doing that, it doesn't give a wonderful result as the one that is soft and wet😊😊. If we begin to realize that the Potter's plan is to make us up into brand new instruments for use, we as clays in His hands will see the needs to remain wet and soft so that the Potter can bring out the ideal image of our existence...
Thank you for sharing this with us 🎶😊🙏🥰🎵🎸
You're right , it we don't make ourselves accessible, there's no way he will mold us, we have to be flexible enough...
Thanks for stopping by and I appreciate your beautiful contribution
