Artist: Lisa Kingsley
Song Title: Makana!
A song of prayer
She narrates what led to the birth of the song…
The raging storm at that time was life threatening and I was praying with psalm 2 calling on God to arise, until it became a song. Onyeka onwenu’s Bia Nulu chorus was just a perfect expression of my heart cry that season.
Through it all God proved to us that against all odds ,darkness cannot prevail over light ! By the help and inspiration of the Holyspirit this song was put together. No matter what you go through in life, if you are on the Lords side be assured that darkness cannot prevail. Hallelujah!

Verse 1:
Why do the heathen rage
And the people imagine vain things
kings and rulers gather
Taking counsel and making plots
Hey! against the Lord
Ha! against His annointed
Jehovah is Mighty
His name is the Lord of Host
I will not be afraid
Of ten thousand soldiers that surrounds me
Makana!
