Nigerian-born Irish singer-songwriter, Ayobola Elegbede has released a new single titled “God Of Creation”.
Passionate about revealing God’s love for releasing joy and restoring hope to all around her, Ayobola has released three songs ‘Praise Him’, ‘My Rock’ and ‘Give My Life’ in recent months. ‘God Of Creation’ is the fourth single to feature in Ayobola’s EP scheduled for release later in 2024.
Sharing the inspiration behind her latest project, Ayobola said; “while I was on top of a skyscraper, I looked around me in awe at the wonder of God’s handiwork. As I viewed the sky about me and the earth below; as I traced the moving animals and people around the building with my eyes; as I watched the leaves in the trees and all nature swirl to the rhythm of the wind blowing ever so gently; I could not but marvel at the work of His hand and worship Him for His breath-taking craftsmanship in creation. All things, in heaven and earth, great and small, He has created for His glory and pleasure.
There and then a familiar 80’s song came to mind and before I knew it, a new song was being created in my spirit as I tapped my feet to the beat of the old 80’s song while I gazed upon the beauty and glory of God’s Creation. I was so inspired that I penned my thoughts on paper and wrote the song ‘God Of Creation’ as soon as I got home.
‘God Of Creation’ is a funky, upbeat tune, infused with some rapping in broken English at the end. If you are a Lagosian, ‘God of Creation’ will definitely make you feel relaxed as you drive through the Lagos traffic. ‘God Of Creation’ is going to get you dancing and singing, and perhaps, rapping too! So, if you’re looking for an upbeat but cool manner of worship, join me and all creation as we celebrate the awesome God of creation with the new sound of ‘God Of Creation’.
“God of Creation” is now available on all streaming platforms.

Lyrics: God Of Creation By Ayobola Elegbede
1. Trees in the field bowing down to You
Beasts in the wild lifting eyes to You
Fishes in the seas swimming unto You
Birds in the sky lifting up Your name
Singing out Your praise
Whiter than snow, purer than gold
Older than time, sweeter than wine
Lord that’s who You are
And You always are
Chorus 1
Every nation
Bow in adoration
Every generation
Exalt the God of creation
Because He’s worthy
To receive glory
2. Mountains so high exceeding measure
Valleys so deep filled with great treasure
Water so clear covering the earth
Creatures great and small daily giving birth
Cause You give them breath (yes You give them breath)
Stronger than love, reaching from above
Faithful than friends even till the end
Lord You’re never changed
You remain the same
Chorus 2
Young and old
Stand be bold
Tell of His love
You He did mold
Let His praise flow
For His greatness shows
Bridge
Lord I look to heaven and I see
The angels and elders bow to You
Lord I look to the sky and I see
Sun and moon and all stars adore You
Lord I look to the land and I see
Every man, woman and child praising You
Singing You are the God of creation
The god of creation
Rap
He is the God of all creation
Clap your hands to the only one creator
The heavens You dwell in
Your blessings unending
The earth’s Your footstool
You’re the reason I pull through
From Oshodi to Ebute Meta
I pass 3rd Mainland Bridge
I no fall inside water
What else can I say
Na You be my Oga
And You is my Father
I call You my Teacher
So I say let every living thing
With every breath you breathe
Gather from far and near
Whether you slim or fat
Either you tall or short
(Yeah) Don’t matter what you are
You need to give Him your all
He is your creator
Chorus 3
Every nation bow in adoration
Young and old stand be bold
Every generation tell of His love
Because He’s worthy
To receive glory
Let His praise flow
For his greatness shows
He’s the God of creation
The God of creation
