While the lyrics of the song, “Yahweh,” is deeply rooted in Christian theology, with underlying themes of help and salvation through God’s grace. With an elevated opening verse. Labisi sets the tone for the entire soulful worship. “Yahweh” is a heartfelt acknowledgement of the saving power of God – “baba téwó gbà mí.”
