We nen'uvwe ghogho by Benafa Zitu — Lyrics
About We nen'uvwe ghogho
"We nen'uvwe ghogho" is a lively Urhobo song of thanksgiving, inviting the entire congregation to join in rejoicing. The lyrics speak of God's great miracles ("O ru'igbunu r'ode ke vwe") and His enduring love that remains forever ("Arodovwen royen o ero koke koke"). It is a natural fit for the Offertory procession or any moment of joyous thanksgiving during Mass, where the people bring their gifts, their dancing, and their gratitude to the altar.
Choirs enjoy this piece for its rhythmic vitality and the communal call to praise. The short, distinct verses allow the singers to express personal gratitude—bringing everything they have to the Lord ("Mi vw'emu eje olerowe br'Orovwori rha")—while the recurring refrain gathers everyone together in a shared expression of joy. The vibrant ending section, with its call to dance and celebrate ("Wo gb'eha kp'agbada"), captures the true, energetic spirit of a Nigerian Catholic thanksgiving.
