Ọba Ọrun (Revised version)

“Ọba Ọrun” is a lively Yoruba song of thanksgiving and praise, lifting up God as the King of Heaven (Ọba Ọrun) and the Unchanging Lord (Alewilese). The lyrics are a joyful outpouring of gratitude, repeatedly offering thanks to the Almighty Father (Baba wa gbọpe o) and acknowledging His supreme majesty (Kabiyesi).

Choirs often sing this piece during the Offertory or as a Recessional hymn, where its bright, rhythmic energy perfectly matches the congregation's mood of celebration. The call-and-response structure between the voice parts creates a vibrant, layered sound that encourages everyone in the church to join in the spirit of thanksgiving. It is a song that reminds the faithful of God's steadfastness and power, making it a favorite for festive Masses and special celebrations.
