Yin Oluwa Ọkan Mi

"Yin Oluwa Ọkan Mi" is a vibrant Yoruba song of thanksgiving that calls the soul to bless the Lord. Opening with a deeply personal declaration of praise, the lyrics speak of offering one's whole being to God in gratitude for His forgiveness and constant care over our weaknesses. It fits naturally into the Mass during moments of thanksgiving or as an Offertory hymn, allowing the choir and congregation to reflect on God's enduring mercies.

As the song unfolds, it moves from general praise into a comforting testimony of divine protection. The text paints a picture of God sending angels to guard our sleep and watching over our families. The final section shifts into a rhythmic, triumphant chant, declaring how God actively drives away death and disease and turns the plans of the enemy to nothing. For a choir, this builds to a joyful, confident climax that reminds everyone in the pews that God's protection is absolute.
