ONI LOJO PE

"Oni Lojo Pe" is a vibrant Yoruba thanksgiving anthem that calls the congregation to bring their gratitude before God. The title translates to a declaration that today is the appointed day to praise the Creator (Edumare). Arranged by Daniel Ebhomien, the piece is filled with joyful energy, making it a perfect fit for the Offertory procession or a special thanksgiving service where the choir and the people dance forward with their gifts.

The lyrics are an outpouring of praise, acknowledging God as the Holy King (Ọba Mimọ) and Savior (Olugbala). As the sopranos lead the melody, the choir sings of God's continuous blessings—"A n ni ọla kun ọla" (we have wealth upon wealth)—and thanks Him for keeping them alive to see this day. The repeated refrain of "Adupẹ o Jesu, Oluwa seun" (We thank you Jesus, thank you Lord) anchors the song in deep, rhythmic gratitude. It is a piece that naturally lifts the spirit of the entire church, inviting everyone to join in the chorus of "Alleluia."
