Iye Ti A Ni, Ti Baba Ni

"Iye Ti A Ni, Ti Baba Ni" is a lively Yoruba thanksgiving hymn that traces every blessing back to its divine source. Arranged by Ehimanre Asuelinmen, the song is built on a profound sense of gratitude. The title and opening lines remind the congregation that the very life we have, and the protection we enjoy, are freely given by God the Father.

In the choir loft, this piece shines brightest during the Offertory or special thanksgiving processions. The verses walk through the different gifts of life—wealth, children, wisdom, and grace—while the chorus bursts into a joyful "Ose o Baba!" (Thank you, Father). It is a song that naturally gets the congregation swaying and dancing forward with their gifts, recognizing that everything they bring to the altar was first given to them by God.
