Yabi Allah Kullayomi

"Yabi Allah Kullayomi" is a vibrant Hausa praise medley—aptly subtitled "A Praise Grill" on the score—that brings an undeniable surge of joy to any Mass or celebration. The song is a spirited call to worship, reminding us that praising God is our daily duty. The lyrics playfully note that if all of creation can lift their voices to the Lord, how much more should we, who have been blessed with life and strength, stand up and praise His greatness ("Sai mu mike tsaye mu yaba girmansa").

In the choir loft, this is exactly the kind of piece you pull out when the congregation needs to be on their feet. It builds beautifully from a rhythmic opening into a full-blown celebration of God's goodness, counting blessings like the gift of life and physical strength. With its infectious "Hallelujah" sections and repetitive, driving "Yabo, yabo" (Praise, praise) chants, it is a perfect fit for a lively Offertory procession, a Thanksgiving service, or a joyful Recessional that sends the people home with dancing feet.
