Come make we thank God

"Come make we thank God" is a vibrant, high-energy thanksgiving anthem composed by Sam C. Ezugwu. Sung entirely in Nigerian Pidgin, the piece is an irresistible invitation to the whole congregation to join in counting their blessings. It captures the very essence of a Nigerian thanksgiving procession—joyful, rhythmic, and deeply communal.

The song shines in its lively call-and-response structure. After a catchy opening chorus that declares how well God has treated us, a bass soloist steps forward to gather the people, urging them to "open your ear welu welu" for a testimony. What follows is a relatable, everyday litany of God's goodness: the choir takes turns listing blessings like a strong body, education, joy, a good spouse, children, and a home.

Choirs will find this piece perfect for Offertory processions, harvest thanksgivings, or any moment of celebration in the Mass. The infectious "Halele!" coda builds the momentum even further, ensuring that by the time the final notes ring out, the entire church is dancing and praising together.
