Celebrated Afro-fusion gospel minister Gaise Baba has officially released the live performance version of his deeply moving single, Yield, offering listeners a heartfelt refuge through music — especially for those walking through seasons of grief and uncertainty.
While the original studio version debuted in 2024, this newly unveiled live recording carries even greater emotional depth. Captured during his electrifying concert in December 2025, the performance is raw, intimate, and spiritually charged. What once stood as a powerful worship expression has now taken on renewed meaning following the burial of his father on Friday, 13 February 2026. In light of this personal loss, Yield transitions from being a shared worship experience to a profoundly personal testimony of surrender, endurance, and unwavering faith.
The song delicately confronts the painful reality of human mortality. It reflects on the inevitable rhythm of life — that people come and people go — yet boldly admits that accepting loss is never easy. Through the emotionally resonant line “to let go, o soro,” Gaise Baba captures the universal struggle of releasing someone dear. The phrase, simple yet piercing, mirrors the ache that words often fail to fully articulate.
In the live rendition, that vulnerability is even more pronounced. His voice carries the weight of lived experience, echoing the tension between heartbreak and hope. He openly confesses that human understanding often falls short and that certain moments in life remain beyond explanation. Still, at the very heart of the song lies an unshaken confidence in God’s character. Even when clarity is absent and emotions are overwhelming, the lyrics affirm a resolute conviction: we judge Him faithful still.
This declaration of trust does not deny pain; rather, it rises in spite of it. The hope expressed in the line “oju lo pe si, a ma tun ra ri” beautifully frames loss not as a final goodbye but as an extended separation — a promise of reunion beyond this present life. It speaks to the enduring Christian hope that death is not the end, but a doorway to eternity.
The live arrangement further amplifies this message. Backed by a reverent audience and rich instrumentation, the atmosphere feels less like a concert and more like a sacred gathering. Each note carries the tension of grief intertwined with surrender, creating a worship moment that resonates deeply with anyone who has had to trust God in the face of unanswered questions.
With this release, Gaise Baba does more than share a song — he shares a piece of his journey. Yield (Live) stands as a gentle but powerful reminder that faith does not eliminate sorrow, but it anchors the soul through it. In yielding to God’s sovereignty, even in seasons of loss, believers find strength, hope, and the assurance that love outlives separation.
