MY PRAISE - GABRIEL EZIASHI

Meaning & Inspiration

Gabriel Eziashi’s "My Praise - What in I Go Give You?", released on May 19, 2018, immediately grounds itself in a profound theological question that resonates deeply with believers: what offering can finite humanity truly present to an infinite God? This song masterfully unpacks the answer, guiding us through a journey of adoration rooted in divine truth and personal experience, culminating in the understanding that our sincere praise is the most cherished gift.

The song’s foundation is built upon the majestic attributes of God, declaring Him as the "King of Israel," "Mighty," and "full of grace and mercy." Eziashi anchors our understanding of God's character, reminding us of His ultimate act of love: giving "His son Emmanuel, Atonement for all our sins, A gift to set us all free." This opening mirrors fundamental Christian doctrine, echoing passages like John 3:16, which speaks of God's immense love in sending His Son, and Matthew 1:23, where Isaiah's prophecy of "Emmanuel – God with us" is fulfilled. The lyrics immediately establish the immense, undeserved grace received by humanity, setting the stage for the crucial question: "What in I go give to you?" – a Nigerian Pidgin English phrase meaning, "What can I give to You?" The resounding, repeated answer, "My praise," becomes not just a lyric, but a declaration of the highest form of worship, reflecting Hebrews 13:15, which calls us to "continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise."

As the song progresses, it shifts from foundational truth to personal testimony, demonstrating how God's divine character impacts individual lives. Eziashi sings, "Oh Lord my God you don make me better, You never make me suffer," and "As time goes on my life don de better, Your love de make me wonder." This expression of gratitude for God's constant goodness and transforming love is a powerful testament to His faithfulness. It mirrors the Psalmist's call in Psalm 103:2, "Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits," and the command in 1 Thessalonians 5:18 to "give thanks in all circumstances." The personal experience of God’s unchanging love, which never causes suffering but consistently improves one’s life, creates an overflowing wellspring of adoration. The artist acknowledges that his "mouth no go fit go tired" (my mouth will never get tired) of proclaiming such wonder.

Perhaps the most impactful moment of theological clarity arrives with the lines, "I no get money, But you no want money." This powerful statement, meaning "I don't have money, but you don't want money," cuts through common misconceptions about what God truly desires. It directly aligns with Scripture such as Acts 17:24-25, which states that God "does not live in temples made by human hands, nor is he served by human hands, as if he needed anything." Similarly, Psalm 50:10-12 reminds us that God owns "every animal of the forest" and "the cattle on a thousand hills," thus having no need of material offerings. What He truly seeks is a contrite spirit and a grateful heart, expressed through genuine praise. The song then beautifully reinforces this by stating, "He inhabit the offering of praise," echoing Psalm 22:3, "Yet You are holy, O You who are enthroned upon the praises of Israel." This imagery portrays God's presence as residing within the very act of our worship, making praise not just a gift *to* Him, but an invitation *for* Him to dwell among us. The calls to "Sing a new song to the Lord" and for "Joy over flows in our heart" serve as an invitation to engage in fresh, heartfelt adoration, reflective of the exhortation in Psalm 33:3.

"My Praise - What in I Go Give You?" ultimately offers a profound and accessible theology of worship. It reminds us that our highest offering is not found in material wealth or worldly achievements, but in the simple, yet profound, act of exalting God’s name with a sincere heart. Gabriel Eziashi's song serves as an encouraging anthem, affirming that our praise, born of understanding God's grace and experiencing His goodness, is the precious gift that fully satisfies the divine heart, calling us all to declare, "I go praise you Lord, My praise."
