Shalom Bérénice delivers a gentle expression of faith with “Abba Elohim,” a worship song written, composed and produced by Fred Olichet Biyela. Inspired by the biblical names Abba, meaning Father, and Elohim, referring to God the Creator, the song becomes a musical reflection on trust, light and hope.
The track takes a contemplative approach to worship, allowing its central refrain to carry the message. Rather than feeling overly complicated, the song creates space for reflection and prayer, making it easy for listeners to connect with its message of placing their trust in God.
There is also a participatory quality to the arrangement that fits naturally within the traditions of French gospel and contemporary praise. African-inspired Christian influences add warmth to the sound, giving the worship experience a sense of community rather than making it feel like a purely personal reflection.
“Abba Elohim” is about finding reassurance through faith. Its focus on light and hope makes the song particularly fitting for moments when listeners need encouragement or a reminder to remain hopeful through uncertainty.
Following the album “Shalom Peace,” Da Pacem Records continues its musical reflection on peace, prayer and hope with this new release. “Abba Elohim” carries that spirit forward through a simple, worshipful approach that places faith and trust at the centre.
