“Baba Mi Gberu Mi O” is a heartfelt Yoruba-English gospel song about surrendering life’s burdens to God. Led by rich male and female (couple) vocals backed by a full choir, this soulful worship cry reminds believers that no matter how heavy life feels, Jesus is still the burden bearer and the God of victory. This song is a cover of the popular evergreen “Ba Mi Gberu Mi O Baba” by Ayewa.
Ba Mi Gberu Mi O – Busysinging Gospel (Powerful Yoruba Worship Song)
In “Ba Mi Gberu Mi O,” the worshipper lays every pain, worry, and fear before God’s throne — acknowledging that human strength will always fail, but the Father never does. The male and female leads cry out in harmony: “Baba mi gberu mi o, baba... Ba mi gberu mi dori...” — “My Father, carry my burden for me, lift it from my head.” It’s a reminder that even in the heaviest moments, Jesus, the Alagbara (Mighty One), carries what we cannot. The choir echoes faith over fear, turning sorrow into worship and despair into victory. A timeless message of rest, surrender, and hope in God’s unfailing hands. 📖 Bible Verse: “Come to me, all you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28 (NLT)

(Verse 1 - Male Lead)
This burden wey I dey carry, e don too heavy for my head
The worries of tomo
This burden wey I dey carry, e don too heavy for my head
The worries of tomo
rrow, and the pains of yesterday
My shoulder don dey bend, my strength don dey fail
But I remember say I get a Father who never fails.
(Pre-Chorus - Female Lead)
So I come before Your throne, with all my cares and fears
I come before Your presence, with all my silent tears...

Baba mi gberu mi o baba
