ANYI ABIALA

"Anyị Abịala" is a vibrant and joyful Igbo hymn composed by Rev. Fr. Uchechi B. Okea, perfectly suited for the Offertory or Thanksgiving procession during Mass. The title translates to "We have come," setting an immediate tone of gratitude as the congregation steps forward to present their gifts and praises to the Lord.

The verses of this piece are deeply personal, touching on the many reasons we return to the altar with thanks. The choir leads the people in praising God for the gift of life, good health, and peace of mind. In the third verse, the song specifically thanks the Lord for the blessing of children and for being the ultimate healer who cures without demanding payment. It is a wonderful choice for a lively Sunday Mass, allowing the choir and congregation to express their joy and reliance on God's endless goodness.
