A SHIM M'ABIA by Adawai James — Lyrics
About A SHIM M'ABIA
"A Shim M'abia" is a joyful Igbo offertory hymn that captures the heart of a worshipper approaching the altar. The lyrics express a deep sense of gratitude, with the singer declaring they have something to tell God the Father—a testimony of His grace and blessings that they will never forget.
During the presentation of gifts, this piece allows the choir and congregation to reflect on God's goodness. The verses speak of bringing gifts to His holy house ("Onyinye'm ji bia n'ulo nso Gi"), coming with joy to lift His name, and having a mouth full of thanks to share with the whole world.
Arranged in solfa notation by Adawai James, the song builds a rhythmic and uplifting atmosphere. It is a perfect fit for a vibrant Nigerian Catholic Offertory procession, giving the choir a lively melody to lead the people in thanksgiving.
