HALELUJA (HIM DON BLESS ME)

"Haleluja (Him Don Bless Me)" is a vibrant, high-energy praise song composed by Obioha Ogbonna, written in expressive Nigerian Pidgin. With its infectious rhythm and layered vocal parts, it perfectly captures the exuberant spirit of a Nigerian Catholic thanksgiving. The piece is an ideal choice for the Entrance or Offertory procession, where the congregation and choir alike can bring their gifts, joy, and gratitude to the altar in a lively dance.

The lyrics speak directly to the everyday blessings of life, using relatable Pidgin phrases like "I no even reach to collect awoof" to express a sense of humble awe at God's abundant, unmerited grace. As the song progresses, the choir builds momentum through a rhythmic vamp section—stacking short, joyful calls like "Plenty grace" and "New praises"—before breaking into a full-throated, triumphant "Haleluya" refrain. It is a deeply uplifting piece that naturally invites the whole church to celebrate the goodness of God.
