Ona ope mi opo

"Ọna Ọpẹ Mi Ọpọ" is a vibrant Yoruba offertory hymn that overflows with gratitude. The title translates to "My reasons for thanksgiving are numerous," setting the tone for a joyful procession to the altar. The lyrics invite the congregation to come before the Lord without fear, bringing thanks for His protection and for the countless blessings He has bestowed.

During the Offertory, as the bread and wine are brought forward, this piece gives the choir and the people a chance to reflect on God's goodness. The verses praise the Creator who laid the earth upon the waters and delivered His people from danger. It is a fitting expression of communal thanksgiving, perfect for a lively Sunday Mass where the choir loft and the pews unite in acknowledging that God's blessings are truly uncountable.
