About TẸWỌ GB'ẸBỌ WA
"TẸWỌ GB'ẸBỌ WA" is a deeply reverent Yoruba Offertory hymn that invites the congregation to bring their sacrifices before God. The words carry a tone of humble offering, asking the Father to accept the gifts presented. In the choir loft, this piece is a staple during the presentation of gifts, as the faithful bring bread and wine to the altar.
The verses beautifully weave together the intercession of the saints and the transformation of the gifts. Singers invoke the Blessed Virgin Mary, St. Joseph, and St. Peter to accompany their offerings to the Almighty Father. The final verse shifts focus to the Eucharistic mystery itself, praying that the bread and wine will be transformed into the Body and Blood of Jesus. It is a profound expression of faith that grounds the Offertory procession in the true meaning of the Mass.
