GBA A LOWO MI O BABA

"Gba a Lọwọ Mi O Baba" is a joyful Yoruba offertory hymn that captures the spirit of the presentation of gifts. The title's plea—"Accept it from my hands, O Father"—sets the tone for the moment the congregation steps out of the pews to dance forward, bringing the fruits of their labor to the altar.

The lyrics frame the offertory as a deeply personal response to God's goodness. In the verses, the singers thank the Father who has kept them alive to see another day, asking Him to receive their freewill offering. By comparing their gifts to the acceptable sacrifice of Abel, the song reminds the faithful that the most pleasing offering we can bring is one given freely, joyfully, and from the heart.
