About NARA ONYINYE ANYI N'OBI OCHA

"Nara Onyinye Anyị N'obi Ọcha" (Receive our gifts with a pure heart) is a joyful Igbo offertory hymn with music by Jude Nwankwo and words by Christopher Ngana. Set to a lively highlife tempo, it is a wonderful choice for the presentation of gifts, calling the congregation to bring their offerings to the altar with thanksgiving.

The song opens with a humble plea for God to accept our gifts and bless them with His mercy, despite our shortcomings. The verses beautifully recount the many free gifts God has already given us—the rain, the sun, the moon, and the very air we breathe—asking what could possibly stop us from bringing Him a worthy thanksgiving. The final verse is an energetic call to action, urging the children of God to rise and give thanks for His protection through sickness and journeys.

In the choir loft, this piece brings a fantastic energy to the Offertory procession. The arrangement features specific verses led by the upper voices (Soprano and Alto) and lower voices (Tenor and Bass) before uniting the full choir for the final, extended verse, making it an engaging and dynamic sing for everyone.
