SINWA DELE (Lead us home)

"Sinwa Dele" (Lead Us Home) is a gentle, heartfelt Yoruba recessional hymn often sung as the congregation departs after Mass. The song is a direct prayer for God's protection and guidance on the journey back, asking the Lord to cover His people with His wings ("f'abiyẹ rẹ bo wa") and shield them from the dangers of the present day.

The melody carries a comforting warmth that perfectly suits the end of a service. After asking God to be our guide and to keep evildoers at bay, the piece transitions beautifully into a sung setting of the Grace ("Ore ọfẹ ti Jesu Kristi..."). For a choir, it provides a deeply reassuring final blessing, sending the faithful out with the fellowship of the Holy Spirit and a resounding "Amin, asẹ."
