Obim Dere Du (Be Still) [Live]

This is a simple song that we used to sing
Back home in BIAFRALAND
It simply says Be Still my soul
For the Lord knows exactly what to do for you
And I wanna use it as a medium to encourage somebody

When peace like a river
Attendeth my way
When sorrows like sea billows rose
You have taught me to say
It is well with my soul
Because you care for me
Oh! Yeah...

Obi m dere du atula-ujo (Be still oh! My soul and fear not)
Obi m dere du (Be still oh! My soul)
Chukwu mara ihe Oma oga-emere mu oh (For God knows what to do for me)
Obi m dere du (Be still oh! My soul)
Obi m dere du atula-ujo (Be still oh! My soul and fear not)
Obi m dere du (Be still oh! My soul)
Daddy mara ihe Oma oga-emere mu oh (For God knows what to do for me)
Obi m dere du (Be still oh! My soul)
Ma na ututu, ma na anyasi (For in the morning and in the night)
Obi m dere du (Be still oh! My soul)
O mara ihe Oma oga-emere mu oh (For God knows what to do for me)
Obi m dere du (Be still oh! My soul)
Ma n'udu mmiri (in rainy season)
Obi m dere du (Be still oh! My soul)
Daddy mara ihe Oma oga-emere mu oh (For God knows what to do for me)
Ma n'okochi (in dry season)
Obi m dere du (Be still oh! My soul)
Daddy mara ihe Oma oga-emere mu oh (For God knows what to do for me)
Obi m dere du (Be still oh! My soul)
I don't need to shake
Obi m dere du (Be still oh! My soul)
I don't need to be afraid
Obi m dere du (Be still oh! My soul)
He's got me

You have made a way
You have opened doors for me
Those that trust in the the Lord are like
Mount Zion that can never be moved
My trust is in you, and you made a way for me

Ma na ututu, ma na anyasi (For in the morning and in the night)
Obi m dere du (Be still oh! My soul)
O mara ihe Oma oga-emere mu oh (For God knows what to do for me)
Obi m dere du (Be still oh! My soul)
Ma na oge mkpa (In times of need)
Obi m dere du (Be still oh! My soul)
O mara ihe Oma oga-emere mu oh (For God knows what to do for me)
Obi m dere du (Be still oh! My soul)
You know my heart's desire
Obi m dere du (Be still oh! My soul)
You will do exceedingly

When I don't know what to do
Obi m dere du (Be still oh! My soul)
O mara ihe Oma oga-emere mu oh (For God knows what to do for me)
Obi m dere du (Be still oh! My soul)
When I'm stack in the middle
Obi m dere du (Be still oh! My soul)
You will make a way for me
Obi m dere du (Be still oh! My soul)
When I have no money, You will make a plan for me,
Obi m dere du (Be still oh! My soul)
My provider, My sustenance
Obi m dere du (Be still oh! My soul)
For in the morning nor in the night
Obi m dere du (Be still oh! My soul)
He knows what to do for me
Be still oh! My Soul and fear not
Obi m dere du (Be still oh! My soul)
For God knows what to do for me
