* Transcription by Azizi Powell from video found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6S2y5uX5Tb4. This transcription is only for the lyrics to the song "Jehovah" (You Are The Most High God)". As indicated in my first post to this thread, I comunicated with Gbenga Wise about his recording of "Jehovah, You Are The Most High God". However, I didn't confirm that my transcription was accurate. I should also share that Gbenga Wise said that this song was known in Nigerian churches before he recorded it in August 1999.

The title to the song "Baba Baba Ese Baba" is in Yoruba and means "Thank You, Father" In the case of this song, Baba (Father) refers to God [Jehovah].

I attempted a transcription of the "Baba Baba Ese Baba" song but stopped because I was uncertain of the spelling of the Yoruba words.
