Tẹwọ gbẹbọ wa

"Tẹwọ Gbẹbọ Wa" is a lively Yoruba offertory hymn that gathers the prayers and gifts of the congregation to present them at the altar. The text calls upon the Almighty Father to receive the sacrifices of His people, creating a joyful and reverent atmosphere for the procession of gifts during Mass.

The verses beautifully expand the scope of this offering, uniting the local church with the wider communion of saints. By singing of Mary, Peter, and the patron saints of the parish societies, the choir reminds the faithful that their earthly worship joins a much larger, heavenly chorus.

Arranged with a rhythmic energy, the melody is driven by the recurring plea "Baba wa tẹwọ gbẹbọ wa." As the voices layer and repeat the refrain, the piece brings a deep sense of communal celebration to the Liturgy of the Eucharist, anchoring the congregation in a shared moment of surrender.
