Coming after a session of Hallelujah challenge, the artists felt an irresistible urge to write down the song. Interestingly, they came up with the demo within 24 hours.

Olowogbogboro is Yoruba term meaning “the one with long arm.” Also, it translates as “the one with mighty arm.” The term is very popular among the Yoruba extraction in Nigeria; it is used to describe God. Thus, the song is an ode in which Nathaniel Bassey extols the greatness of the Almighty God.

"Your outstretched arm has given us victory
Miracles signs and wonders come from you
Testimonies just like that ohh
Words are not enough to tell of all you've done"

Nathaniel Bassey Olowogbogboro emphasises the wonders of God, and of how He works in mysterious ways. It brings to bear that the wisdom of God is unsearchable. No matter how much we try to know the root of His ways, we cannot understand.

Nathaniel Bassey also talks about the fact that God knows the plight of His children, and He often relieves them of their struggles when they least expect it. He goes on to say that His acts of wonder are way beyond human imagination and expectations. Therefore, since His ways are confounding, it is only wise to say or do “absolutely nothing” but adore him.

Going further, the persona of the lyrics talks about the effect that follows the divine touch of God. He testifies he is no longer slave to sin, satan or any yoke. Since Olowogbogboro touched him, his life has changed for the better. He exclaims:

"Things have turned around for me
Now I'm walking in victory
Jesus turned it around for me
He has given me victory."

This establishes the most relevant part of the song which is, there is no impossibility with God. Regardless how difficult it seems, all that is needed to turn things around is the hand of God; once it touches that problem, it becomes solved forever.

Of course, what is next is praise and thanksgiving. The lyrics suggest that when God does great things for us, we should appreciate Him with shouts of hallelujah and dance. That way, we receive more blessings from Him.
