About AGAM EJI GINI KELE OLISA
"Aga M Eji Gịnị Kele Olisa" is a joyful and deeply reflective Igbo thanksgiving hymn, perfectly suited for the Offertory procession. The title translates to a profound question often asked by the faithful: "What shall I use to thank the Lord?" In this piece, the choir leads the congregation in pondering God's immense goodness, acknowledging Him as the Creator who made all things beautiful and gave them to us.
The verses build a moving narrative of gratitude. The singers recognize that God lacks nothing ("Ọ bụdụ nke kọrọ gị"), yet they still bring their wealth and gifts as a humble token of appreciation. The final verse shifts to a prayer of salvation, thanking God for sending the Messiah to deliver us from sin and asking Him to guide us on the right path.
During Mass, this song brings a lively yet reverent energy to the presentation of gifts. The rhythmic flow makes it a favorite for choirs, allowing the whole church to join in the spirit of thanksgiving. It reminds everyone in the pews that our offerings are simply a grateful response to the boundless grace of "Osebulụwa Chukwu" (Lord God Almighty).
