Artist Bio: Jephthah Idahosa Aigbe is a minister, songwriter, recording artist, singer, and worship leader currently based in Zaria, Nigeria. He is a graduate of Architecture from the prestigious Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria.
Music Bio: “Reflections” is a song that was birthed in deep meditation, as the song title implies. I came across a scripture (Mark 7:6-7) that revealed that worship could be done in vain if we honor God with our lips when our hearts are far from Him.
So I said a prayer to God, to align the words of my lips and the thoughts within my heart, for I realized that anything other than that would be self-deception. God cannot be mocked and cannot be deceived. “I cannot look into His eyes and tell a lie”.
I put this prayer into a melody and this song was birthed. I pray that this will become the prayer of believers all over the body of Christ and that we will repent from hypocrisy and from worship that begins and ends only on our lips.

Reflections By Jephthah Idahosa
Verse:
Let my heart speak the same words with my lips
Let my lips give expression to my heart
Let the song within my heart be the song upon my lips
Let the words upon my lips be true to the thoughts within my heart
Chorus:
Cos I cannot look into Your eyes and tell a lie
I cannot look into Your eyes and tell a lie
I cannot look into Your eyes and tell a lie
I cannot look into Your eyes and tell a lie
Bridge:
I’m tired of the hypocrisy
I’m tired of the lies we tell
If we claim that it is all so perfect
When we know it is not all well
Can we get out of this unreal madness
And seek the Lord like we’re desperate for Him
Drop crowns and titles and just surrender
Let our worship be true and pure
Cos we can’t look into His eyes and tell a lie
We cannot look into His eyes and tell a lie
No man can look into His eyes and tell a lie
I cannot look into Your eyes and tell a lie
So let my heart
Verse:
Let my heart speak the same words with my lips
Let my lips give expression to my heart
Let the song within my heart be the song upon my lips
Let the words upon my lips be true to the thoughts within my heart
Chorus:
I cannot look into Your eyes and tell a lie
I cannot look into Your eyes and tell a lie
Outro:
There’s no need to pretend
You see my heart the way it is
Can’t look into Your eyes and tell a lie
No no no
