Let’s start here: if your week has been as chaotic as Nigeria’s fuel queues or your faith has been experiencing that slow buffering issue (you know the one), then Omoniyi Oni’s “There Is Nothing My God Cannot Do” might just be your reset button.
We’re in a time when gospel music is trying really hard to sound like Afrobeats’ well-behaved cousin. But this song? This one refuses to perform. It simply is gentle, sure, and filled with that quiet authority only real conviction brings. From the first note, you’re not entertained; you’re invited.
Oni doesn’t come to razzle you. There are no violins doing gymnastics. No dramatic crescendos made for Instagram reels. Just piano chords so soft they feel like morning devotion, ambient pads that don’t scream for attention, and guitar lines that know their place. The whole thing is beautifully understated. Minimalist, yes. But empty? Never.
This is African Pentecostal worship at its finest clear, confident, communal. It’s not “come watch me worship.” It’s “come let’s declare this thing together.”
The titular line “There is nothing my God cannot do” gets repeated so often it stops being a lyric and becomes a lifestyle. Not hyperbole but a rhythm- a reassurance. The kind of statement you mutter under your breath when you’re waiting on test results or looking at rent that your account balance doesn’t recognise.
Oni’s vocals? No 12-syllable runs or high notes designed to impress aunties at choir competitions. Just steady, soulful delivery with a tone that says, “I’ve been through stuff, and I know who brought me through.”
Lyrically, this is where Oni shines. Take “He can make the dry bones live again…” and boom you’re in Ezekiel 37 territory, dusty bones clacking back to life, hope springing where death had settled in. No unnecessary metaphors, no prosperity shortcuts; just straight reminders of what God has done, what He still does, and what He’ll do again.
Here’s the thing that gets me most: this song would stir up a holy sense in a packed-out Lagos church, a rural camp meeting, or even some Hillsong-esque stadium with strobe lights and smoke machines- it’s that versatile.
Oni’s songwriting is deeply Nigerian, but globally resonant. You don’t need to know the dialect to catch the spirit. And that, my friends, is the magic.
Now, let me be that guy for a second: musically, a bridge wouldn’t hurt. Just a little something to take us to the mountaintop before the final chorus comes in like thunder. Some harmonies too, like freshly baked Agege bread, could lift that last hook into “goosebumps and maybe even tears” territory.
Also, the production is pure and intimate, which is perfect for church and personal moments, but for radio, a slightly beefier mix wouldn’t be out of place. Not a complaint, just… ideas.
“There Is Nothing My God Cannot Do” is not just a song; it’s a reminder that the God who parted seas and raised dead men is still very much in business. That your situation, no matter how mad, has not overpowered His power.
If your faith has been running on fumes lately, press play. Sing loud. Cry if you need to, but above all, believe again.
