Osa Se N'aga

"Osa Se N'aga" is a vibrant Edo song of thanksgiving and praise. The title translates to "God is worthy to be served," and the music carries exactly that feeling of joyful duty. It is an excellent choice for the Offertory or a Thanksgiving procession, where the congregation dances forward to present their gifts. The opening call, "Wa hia la rre nado rhiekponmwen ne" (Come everyone to give thanks to Him), invites the whole church into a shared moment of gratitude.

Exomo John O.'s arrangement captures the communal energy of Bini worship. The piece opens with a lively full-choir chorus before breaking into distinct vocal sections—a soprano solo, a bright soprano duet, and a grounding baritone solo. This varied structure keeps the momentum high, allowing different voices in the choir loft to lead the prayer while maintaining the rhythmic pulse that makes Edo Catholic music so moving. Singing this, a choir can truly lift the spirit of the Mass, reminding everyone present of God's goodness in their lives.
