Dinwenu bu Onye nche m by Ezeleke Livinus — Lyrics
About Dinwenu bu Onye nche m
"Dinwenu Bụ Onye Nche M" is a gentle, reassuring setting of Psalm 23, one of the most beloved passages in scripture. Ezeleke Livinus brings the familiar words—"The Lord is my shepherd, there is nothing I shall want"—to life in Igbo, wrapping the text in a comforting melody that feels like a quiet prayer. The chorus is simple and direct, making it easy for the congregation to pick up and sing along, while the verses carry the narrative of God's guidance through green pastures and dark valleys.
In the choir loft, we often turn to this piece when the liturgy calls for a deep sense of trust and surrender. It is a natural choice for the Responsorial Psalm, but its message of divine protection also makes it a staple for funeral Masses, offering genuine solace to grieving families. When the choir sings of the overflowing cup and dwelling in the house of the Lord forever, it reminds everyone present of the enduring goodness and mercy that follows us all the days of our lives.
