Baba by Njoki Munyi is a modern-day echo of the ancient prayer Jesus taught His disciples. Njoki Munyi strips away the performance and replaces it with a simple, breathtaking realization: that the Creator of the universe allows us to call Him “Baba” – Father.
This is a vibrant praise that takes the prayer of The Lord Jesus and turns it into a rejuvenating sound that honors God as our Father, Comforter, and ever-present help welcome all to come worship, glorify and praise God. A beautiful melody that you can sing as you pray.
Baba was recorded during Njoki Munyi’s Rejesha 2.0, featuring Njoki’s sister Jaque Gachiri.

Song review
Main themes
Baba by Njoki Munyi is built on the following themes:
- A Triune God
- Praise worth God
- The Lord’s Prayer
A Triune God
The song begins with a grand declaration that speaks about the persons that GOD as He is Has. Speaking of His person as Father, Speaking of Jesus Chris, The son as our comforter, and The Spirit of GOD as our Helper.
It encompasses the all-around God that Christians can connect with in all areas. It gives the Christian a view of God as Three in one highlighting the importance of each person.
Matthew 28:19 (KJV)
[19] Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
2 Corinthians 13:14 (KJV)
[14] The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.
Praise Worthy God
Throughout the song it charges Christians to praise God as it highlights of who He and there is no other worthy of praise. David understood this. Before battles, before answers, often before anything had changed, he praised.
Praise is our continual act of our worship to Him for who He is what He has done and is still doing. The song constantly emphasizes this that He is worthy of our Praise – a response to God’s presence.
Psalms 22:3 (KJV)
[3] But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.
Psalm 34:3,4 (KJV)
[1] I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
[3] O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together
The Lord’s Prayer
The song takes directly from the Lord’s prayer. Giving it a musical taste reminds us prayer can be in many forms, such as declaration, worship or small unstructured plea.
It shows the conversational nature of prayer, calling Christians to engage with Him in that manner. Not a ritual to be repeated before we do anything but intentional conversation with Him.
The prayer speaks of a Christians desire to see His will be done, A request for God to fulfill our daily needs, and a plea to be our deliverer from the evil one and the temptations that come
Matthew 6:7,9-13 (KJV)
[7] But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
[9] After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
[10] Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
[11] Give us this day our daily bread.
[12] And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
[13] And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
