Dyaham Ka Shye Da Dam

"Dyaham Ka Shye Da Dam" is a bright, rhythmic offering hymn composed by Chris Uko, with lyrics by Foundation Kenar. Originating from the vibrant choir community at Our Lady Queen of Peace (O.L.Q.P.) Catholic Church at Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, this piece carries the distinctive, joyful energy of Northern Nigerian Catholic worship. It is a song of thanksgiving and dedication, perfectly suited for the Offertory procession when the congregation brings their gifts to the altar.

The arrangement is written in solfa notation and features a lively, steady groove across the voice parts. The refrain establishes an uplifting melody, while the three verses allow the choir to tell a deeper story of faith and gratitude. Singing this piece requires a good sense of rhythm and a joyful spirit, making it a wonderful choice for feast days and vibrant Sunday Masses where the choir wants to lead the people in an energetic, heartfelt offering.
