Multi award-winning worship leader Evans Ogboi returns with a new single titled ‘We Worship You’, featuring Nigerian gospel minister Onos Ariyo.
The collaboration brings together two seasoned voices in worship, blending Evans’ calm, measured leadership with Onos’ rich and expressive delivery. The result is a song that feels intentional, reverent and grounded in sincere adoration rather than performance.
The song opens gently with Evans declaring, “Lord we honour…” It is not sung at first, it is spoken with conviction. It feels like a worship leader setting the atmosphere before anything else happens, almost drawing everyone into alignment before the music fully settles. The soft humming from the backing vocals follows, and that humming really stretches the moment. It creates space. It allows you to breathe before the lyrics properly unfold.
Then Onos comes in, after praying in the Spirit, with “Glory hallelu to the Lion and the Lamb.” That entrance shifts the atmosphere straight away. It feels organic, not staged. Moving from praying in the Spirit into that bold declaration makes the worship feel real and alive. You can sense the transition from spontaneous prayer into structured praise without it feeling forced.
From there, the direction of the song is clear. It is simple worship. Nothing complicated. Just direct adoration. When they repeat “Lord we honour You, Lord we worship You,” it does not feel empty. Honour speaks of reverence. Worship speaks of surrender. Putting both together balances acknowledgement and response.
The chorus is where it really lifts. “We worship, we adore You, glory to Your name, we stand in awe of who You are, glory to Your name.” There is a steady rise in key, almost like climbing steps one by one. It happens four times, and each lift feels intentional. It does not sound dramatic for the sake of it. It simply builds. With every key change, the atmosphere rises naturally, stretching the worship higher without losing its calmness.
Before the moment settles, Evans declares “Yeshua,” and the backing vocals respond. That call and response changes the feel again. It moves from a personal expression into something that feels corporate. It sounds like a room responding together. That exchange adds weight and makes the whole sound fuller.
Another thing I noticed is the lyrical layering. What Onos leads as the opening line is not exactly what the backing vocals echo. There are slight variations in the phrasing. That small difference stretches the depth of the lyrics. It does not feel like plain repetition. It feels woven together. Almost like one voice is leading the expression while the others are expanding it. Different voices, same devotion, expressed from slightly different angles. That subtle variation keeps the worship from feeling flat and gives it texture.
Musically, everything stays supportive. The instruments do not compete with the vocals. They simply carry the moment. Nothing feels crowded. Nothing feels overdone.
Overall, ‘We Worship You’ works because it understands that worship does not have to be complicated to be powerful. The structure, the steady progression, the key changes, the call and response, and the layered lyrics all come together naturally. Sometimes the simplest declarations, lifted step by step, create the deepest moments.
