Onye Putara N'ututu by Udo Laurence Iwu — Lyrics
About Onye Putara N'ututu
"Onye Putara N'ututu" is a vibrant Igbo song of thanksgiving that captures the profound gratitude of waking up to see a new day. The title reminds us that anyone who rises in the morning owes praise to their Creator. The lyrics reflect on a sobering truth we often take for granted: many went to sleep at night but did not wake up, yet God has kept us in the land of the living. This realization bursts into a joyful call to bring beautiful, worthy gifts ("onyinye mara mma") to the Lord who first gave to us.
In the choir loft, this piece shines brightest during the Offertory or as an Entrance hymn for a morning Mass. The arrangement opens with a reflective, almost testimonial introduction before launching into a lively, extended chorus that invites the whole congregation to celebrate. With its rhythmic drive and call-and-response verses, it naturally encourages the faithful to step forward, dance, and lift up their voices in genuine appreciation for God's protection and answered prayers.
