Lyrics
Oh that my offering
Will be acceptable in your sight
My lord and king
That you’ll be pleased with me
And in the sound I bring
Before your throne
Karbi zuciyata
(Receive my heart)
Hadayar ka mai tsaki
(a sacrifice Holy one)
Duba hannu na
(See my hands)
Ubangiji na
(My Lord)
Call: Gani nan
(here I am)
Response: Gani nan x2
Uh………
Call: Gani nan
Response: Gani nan x2
(here I am)
Da dukan zuciyata
(with all my heart)

Meaning & Inspiration
“Karbi Zuciyata (Receive My Heart)” is a prayer of offering expressed in English and Hausa. The singer asks that both the offering and the sound brought before God’s throne be acceptable, then moves from presenting a gift to presenting the whole person. “Receive my heart” becomes the central plea, while references to hands and the repeated response “Here I am” embody readiness for service.
The language of an acceptable sacrifice recalls Romans 12:1, where believers are urged to offer themselves to God as a holy, pleasing sacrifice. The call-and-response declaration “Here I am” also echoes Isaiah 6:8, where Isaiah answers God’s call with availability. These connections fit the lyrics’ movement from worship to consecration. The bilingual refrain gives the prayer a rooted, communal quality, and its repetition emphasizes wholehearted surrender. The song ultimately treats worship not only as a sound offered before God, but as a life, heart, and hands made available to him.
