Behind the song
Èsé Púpọ̀ is a personal song of gratitude. It remembers simple gifts — conversation, shared meals, worship, walks, kindness and the warmth of being welcomed into someone’s home — and answers them with a heartfelt “thank you very much.” Rather than ending with appreciation alone, the song turns gratitude into blessing. It prays for peace, healing, joy and the favour of God over the people who showed such care. The mixture of Yoruba, English and light Nigerian expression gives it the feel of a warm message sent after a meaningful visit. At its heart, Èsé Púpọ̀ celebrates the people God places along our journey and reminds us not to leave kindness unacknowledged.
Lyrics

Good morning, è sé púpọ̀!
Good morning, è sé púpọ̀!
Ayo ati alafia l’oruko Jesu!
[Chorus]
È sé púpọ̀, thank you o!
For the warmth and the love you show

Thank you for the walks we took,
Thank you for the talks so good,
Thank you for the praise and worship,

The ambience of your home so sweet,
Na joy and peace wey dey complete.

Mo ti lo, sugbon ayo mi ku si (I have left, but my joy remains)
In my place is your healing, IJN
Shine His face on you, forever, Amen!
