Dunsin Oyekan – Stand In The Gap

“Stand In The Gap” by Dunsin Oyekan is like being a bridge between God and people, a person who prays and intercedes for others. It’s that feeling of caring deeply for someone else’s situation and asking God to intervene. Imagine seeing a problem or need, and feeling a strong urge to pray for it, to stand in that space and ask God to bring healing or change. This is a call to intercessory prayer.

What makes “Stand In The Gap” so meaningful is its focus on selfless prayer. It’s not about complicated ideas; it’s about a simple truth: God listens to our prayers for others. Dunsin Oyekan’s voice is full of compassion and urgency, like someone pleading for help. It’s not about being passive; it’s about taking action through prayer. The music itself is moving and earnest, like a heartfelt plea. This is an experience of interceding on behalf of others.

“Stand In The Gap” is a call to embrace your role as an intercessor, to pray for those in need. It’s a challenge to step into those spaces of prayer, to ask God to bring healing and restoration. It’s about letting your heart be moved by the needs of others. This is not about having all the answers; it’s about bringing those needs before the One who does. This is a testament to the power of intercessory prayer.

Stand In The Gap Lyrics By Dunsin Oyekan

Do I have people like Moses?
People like Joshua?
People like the Hebrew men?
People like Abraham?
People like David?
People like Daniel in this generation?

That will stand in the gap
Because can a nation be born in a day?
But as soon as Zion travails
Do we have some people who can travail for their generation here?
Lift your hands and say to the Lord
We are ready
We stand in the gap
We take our place

Lift your hands and sing with me
We stand in the gap for our generation
We raise a sound of adoration to say
“We will not worship any other god”, oh, oh-oh, aya
We stand in the gap for our generation
We raise a sound of adoration to say
“We will not worship any other god”

We insist
We persist
We say

We will stand in the gap for our generation
We raise a sound of adoration to say
“We will not worship any other god”
I say one more time
We stand in the gap for our generation
Right in this place, we raise a sound of adoration to say, we will not-
We will not worship any other god

Lift your hands and say, Yahweh
(Yahweh) forever (forever) You’re- (You’re my God)
Somebody say, Yahweh, Yahweh
(Yahweh) forever (forever) You’re- (You’re my God)
Say it again, say, Yahweh, Yahweh
(Yahweh) forever (forever) You’re- (You’re my God)
Lift it up one more time, Yahweh, Yahweh
(Yahweh) forever (forever) You’re- (You’re my God)

Somebody say, we stand in the gap
We stand in the gap for our generation
We raise a sound (aya) of adoration to say
We will not- (we will not worship any other God) oh, oh-oh, oh, oh
Somebody say, we stand in the gap
(We stand in the gap for our generation) we take the place in the midwife
(We raise a sound) ayy (of adoration to say)
We will not- (we will not worship any other God)

Somebody say it again
Let them hear you in Asia
Let them hear you in Africa
That- (we stand in the gap) oh, yah (for our generation)
Let it resound in America
(We raise a sound) let it resound in Kano (of adoration to say) let it resound in Europe
We will not- (we will not-) we will not- (worship any other God)

Can a generation some born
We cry out from our spirit and we raise sa-
(We stand in the gap) we stand in the gap- (for our generation)
We raise a sound- (we raise a sound-) we raise a sound- (of adoration to say-) we-
We will not worship any other God

Everybody lift up your hands and say, Yahweh
(Yah-a-weh) forever, (forever) You’re- (You’re my God)
Somebody say, Yahweh, Yahweh
(Yah-a-weh) forever, (forever You’re my God)
Somebody say, Yahweh, Yahweh
(Yah-weh) forever, (forever, You’re my God)
One more time, somebody say, Yah-a-weh
(Yah-a-weh) Yahweh, Yahweh, Yahweh (forever, You’re my God)

Let re-bounce flow, Yeah
Like Joshua, he say, “As for me and my house, I pledge before you, life and death”
But I beseech you, choose life, choose life
“For as for me and my generation, we will serve the Lord”

Yahweh

Somebody cry out for your generation
Yahweh, Yahweh, Yahweh
Fever is gone
Sovereign for if God is God, Sovereign

Say, Yahweh, Yahweh
(Yah-a-weh) for let the God that answers by fire, (forever) let Him be God (You’re my God)

Somebody say, Yahweh
(Yah-a-weh) forever, (forever) say (You’re my God)
We cry out to say, Yahweh, Yahweh
(Yah-a-weh) (forever, (forever) You’re- (You’re my God)
One more time, somebody say, Yahweh
(Yah-a-weh) forever, (forever) can somebody-, (You’re my God) take the position of the midwife?
And cry out for your generation

We insist
We persist
We take our place
This generation will serve the living God
This generation will serve the living God
This generation will serve the living God

You are Yahweh
Yahweh, forever You’re God
Yahweh, forever-
Lift up your voice, raising up saying Yahweh
(Yahweh) forever (forever You’re my God)
Somebody say, Yah-weh
(Yahweh) forever (forever You’re my God)
One more time say, Yahweh
(Yahweh) forever (forever You’re my God)

We stand in the gap for our generation
God, if You see 50 people, will You destroy the city?
If You see 30 people, will You destroy the city?
If You see 20 people, will You destroy the- aya?
If You see ten people, will You destroy?
If You see just two people, will You destroy?

Ladies and gentlemen, we are more than ten
We are more than hundred
We are more than three hundred
We are more than a thousand
We are more than ten thousand
We are many, and we shout in many
I say we are many, and we shout in many

This generation will serve the Lord
There’s only one option, just like Jonathan
I say, just like Jonathan
Give me Scotland or I die
Give me Scotland or I die
It’s time for you to believe God for nations
It’s time for you to believe God for nations
It’s time for you to believe God for culture
It’s-

Somebody say, Yahweh
(Yah-a-weh) forever (forever You’re my God)
Somebody say, Yahweh
(Yah-a-weh) forever (forever) forever (You’re my God)
One more time, say Yahweh
(Yah-a-weh) forever (forever You’re my God)

Yah-a-weh

Yah-a-weh

Yah-a-weh

You’re Yahweh
Ah, your generation will minister

I say Yah-
Yahweh in our colleges
Yahweh in our schools
Yahweh in the parliament
Yahweh in the government
Yahweh on the streets
Yahweh in the hospitals, Yahweh
Yahweh in the garage
Yahweh in politics

We unseat evil men
I said, we unseat evil men
And we enthrone Yahweh

Everybody say, Yahweh, Yahweh
(Yah-a-weh) forever (forever You’re my God)
One more time say, Yahweh, Yahweh
(Yah-a-weh) forever (forever) You’re- (You’re my God)
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
We give You praise
