IRI OWU NANA TAMUNO

"Iri Owu Nana Tamuno" is a reverent Ijaw choral piece that lifts up the name of God (Tamuno) as the Creator and sovereign Lord. The melody carries a steady, rhythmic dignity, building a sense of awe and surrender as the voices layer together. For a choir, singing this piece is an act of deep acknowledgment, reflecting on God's supreme power over our lives and the breath He gives us.

The score includes a profound written reflection from St. Augustine: "God who made you without you will not save you without you." This anchors the song's message perfectly in the liturgy—it is a call to active, participating faith. It serves beautifully during the Offertory or as a general hymn of thanksgiving. As the congregation brings their gifts to the altar, the music reminds everyone that while God is our ultimate maker, we must willingly offer our hearts and cooperate with His saving grace.
