This gospel-infused confession emphasises strength through spirituality and offers hope when you need something greater than yourself to rely on. Teni expresses gratitude for divine intervention in “Malaika” from her 2023 “Tears of the Sun” album. She acknowledges that countless people face daily struggles and death, yet she chooses thanksgiving over complaint, recognising that while people change, God remains constant. The track combines English with Yoruba to express this surrender and gratitude.

[Verse ]
I'm at peace with God and at peace with myself
I surrender, I surrender
No weapon fashioned against me shall prosper
Back to Sender, Back to sender
(Back to Sender, moni Back to sender o)
Lord I give you my heart and my soul and devotion
You give me peace of mind
And I see all the works and thе good things you're doing
Sebi na you change my lifе
Ogo ni, ogo ni, ogo ni fun baba, ogo ni fun omo
Ogo ni, ogo ni, ogo ni fun olorun emi mimo
Ogo ni, ogo ni, ogo ni fun baba, ogo ni fun omo
Ogo ni, ogo ni, ogo ni fun olorun emi mimo
Thank you for all the things that you got me through
Na only me and you
The crying for night, you dey wipe my eyes
Na you dey give me grace o
You say make i get faith o
Make my faith no deflate o
Put ounje for my plate o
People change but you remain the same o
Aimoye eyan to n ku lojojumo
Mio fi yowon, Mo fi n dupe ni
Eru n dupe ni, Mo fi n dupe ni o
[Chorus]
