Ma Kpomwosa by Ogidi Osahon Godsend — Lyrics
About Ma Kpomwosa
"Ma Kpomwosa" is a vibrant Edo thanksgiving anthem composed by Ogidi Osahon Godsend. Built on a foundation of traditional percussion—including the udu, agogo, shekere, and congas—the piece brings a deeply indigenous, celebratory rhythm to the choir loft. The lyrics open with a plea to the Almighty, "Osalobua nomwemtinhia laho mien izohe ogh'e," asking God to accept the offerings brought before Him.
The arrangement shines through its dynamic use of call-and-response. Tenor and soprano soloists take turns leading the congregation in praise, weaving through expressions of gratitude for God's protection and goodness. The full choir answers with soaring, harmonized responses like "Rh'uyi n'Osa" (Give glory to God), creating a swelling sense of communal worship.
Because of its explicit focus on presenting gifts and giving thanks, this piece is a perfect fit for the Offertory procession or as a lively thanksgiving hymn. It captures the joyful, dancing spirit of Nigerian Catholic worship, inviting everyone to bring their gratitude to the altar.
