Hanma Shie

This sheet brings together two distinct, highly functional pieces for Nigerian Catholic worship. The first, "Hanma Shie," is a joyful Tiv hymn of praise. Its title translates to "all the time," and the verses encourage the congregation to glorify, worship, and find happiness in the Lord unceasingly. The simple, repetitive structure makes it an effortless song for the assembly to pick up and sing along with the choir, creating a continuous loop of thanksgiving.

The second piece, "I yoo Iga Ayota!" (Ask and you shall receive), is a short, comforting Igbo response arranged specifically for the Prayer of the Faithful. Drawing its text directly from Matthew 7:7, it reassures the church that God hears every petition. Together, these two pieces offer a wonderful balance for the liturgy—moving from exuberant, continuous praise to quiet, trusting supplication.
