Captured during a powerful live recording, “Nagode” is a transcendent collaboration between the visionary gospel minister Dunsin Oyekan and the soulful David Dam. The title, which translates to “I give thanks” in Hausa, serves as the cornerstone of this intense worship experience. Characterized by its atmospheric build-up and soaring instrumentation, the track moves beyond a simple melody to become a profound sacrifice of praise. Both ministers deliver raw, emotive vocal performances that emphasize a heart of total surrender and immense gratitude for the faithfulness of God.
The live setting adds a palpable layer of spiritual urgency to the song, as the spontaneous chants and communal energy create an immersive environment for the listener. By blending indigenous Hausa expressions with a contemporary worship sound, Oyekan and Dam bridge cultural gaps, making the message of thanksgiving universally accessible yet deeply personal. “Nagode” stands out as a triumphant anthem of victory and appreciation, reinforcing the duo’s reputation for producing music that is not merely heard, but deeply felt within the global Body of Christ.

Quotable Lyrics of “Nagode (Live)” by Dusin Oyekan & David Dam
Chorus
Nagode, Nagode, Nagode (I give thanks)
Nagode, Nagode, Nagode
For Your mercy, for Your grace
For the battles You have won
Nagode, Nagode, Nagode
Verse
Where would I be without Your love?
Where would I be without Your grace?
You picked me up from the miry clay
And set my feet on the rock to stay
I’ve come to pour my love on You
I’ve come to give You all the praise
Bridge
(Spontaneous Worship)
You are the God of everything
The Alpha and Omega
The beginning and the end
My heart cries out to You
Nagode, Yahweh!
Outro
I will sing of Your mercies forever
I will tell of Your faithfulness
Nagode, Nagode…
(Fades out with instrumental worship)
