Meaning & Inspiration
“My Praise” by Gabriel Eziashi, also titled “What in I Go Give You?”, is a praise song in Pidgin English built on one question and one answer. The opening names the Lord as King of Israel and mighty, full of grace and mercy, and gives Emmanuel as a gift that brings atonement and sets people free. That is close to Psalm 24:8 and Matthew 1:23.
The chorus asks, “What in I go give you?” and answers, “My praise.” The line “I no get money, but you no want money” says that God asks for the heart and not for a payment. The verse that follows thanks Him for making life better and says the mouth will not tire of praising Him.
The bridge says that God inhabits the offering of praise, which echoes Psalm 22:3, and invites everyone to sing a new song, close to Psalm 96:1. The song’s message is simple gratitude: praise is the offering anyone can bring.
