YABO (PRAISE) by Abel Obaje — Lyrics
About YABO (PRAISE)
"Yabo (Praise)" is a vibrant Hausa anthem that calls the entire congregation into a spirit of joyful thanksgiving. From the very first notes, the choir declares that all praise belongs to Jesus, setting a lively and rhythmic foundation. The piece moves with an infectious energy, weaving together titles of God’s majesty, acknowledging Him as the Almighty, the Creator of heaven and earth, and the merciful Father who saves those who follow Him.
As the song unfolds, it draws the choir and the faithful into a deeper act of worship, explicitly invoking the Holy Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The repeated calls of "Kuzo mu yabe shi" (Come, let us praise Him) serve as a powerful invitation, making it an excellent choice for the Entrance or Offertory procession, where the physical movement of the people matches the forward momentum of the music.
Written with a dynamic choral arrangement, the piece builds to a spirited climax of continuous praise. It captures the heart of Northern Nigerian Catholic worship, where faith is expressed with boldness and communal joy. When the choir sings this, it is not just a performance, but a genuine leading of the church in adoration, reminding everyone present that God is truly worthy of all our praise.
