Lyrics
Please call me favour
Papa has done too much for me
Please call me favour
I'm living only by His grace
Please call me favour
Papa has done too much for me
He is overflowing
My name is favour
You dei bless me oh (Bless me Oh)
Bless me Papa (Bless me Papa)
You dei bless me oh (Bless me Oh)
Bless me Papa (Bless me Papa)
Please call me favour
Papa has done too much for me
Please call me favour
I'm living only by His grace
Please call me favour
Papa has done too much for me
He is overflowing
My name is favour
You dei bless me oh (Bless me Oh)
Bless me Papa (Bless me Papa)
You dei favour me oh (Favour me Oh)
Favor Papa (Favor Papa)
I am the favor of God (I am the favor of God)
I am the favor of God (I am the favor of God Oh)
I am the favor, the favor (I am the favor of God)
One two three say:
Favour favour favour
Everybody say:
Favour favour favour
Nobody can love me like You love me Jesus

Nobody can lov eh love

Meaning & Inspiration
Deborah Lukalu’s “Favour Celebration” treats divine favor as an identity rather than a mere gift. The repeated request, “Please call me favour,” frames a life reshaped by God’s goodness, while “I’m living only by His grace” roots that identity in dependence, not achievement. The song’s call-and-response structure turns personal testimony into shared confession: blessing comes from a Father who overflows.
The Swahili lines carry the same weight. “Maisha yetu ni Yesu” declares that life itself belongs to Christ, and “milele” stretches favor beyond the present moment. The invitation to celebrate suggests that recognizing grace naturally leads to praise. Scripture often speaks of favor as unearned kindness, and the act of naming oneself “the favor of God” echoes the biblical pattern of God renaming people to mark a new reality. The song does not dwell on struggle or explanation; it simply proclaims a grace already received. That confidence, expressed through repetition and joy, makes the song a declaration that favor is not something to be earned but something to be embraced and announced.
