Matt Redman’s beloved worship anthem finds a vibrant new voice in this choral arrangement by Emre Matthew. While the piece opens with the familiar, gentle tenor solo reflecting on the morning sun and the promise of a new day, it soon expands into a deeply localized expression of praise. The arrangement takes the universal call to bless the Lord and grounds it firmly in the Nigerian choir loft, weaving together English, Yoruba, and Igbo sections to create a sweeping song of thanksgiving.
Choirs often bring this piece out during Thanksgiving processions, Communion, or as a joyful Recessional. The steady build from unison verses into rich, multi-part harmony gives the singers plenty of room to express the song's emotional core. As the music shifts into the Yoruba declaration "Aye mi b'ola fun o Jesu" and the majestic Igbo proclamation "Eze ndi'eze n'ezo n'okpuru Ya," the congregation is invited into a more intimate, cultural reverence.
Singing this arrangement reminds the faithful that the call to worship transcends language. From the quiet moments of failing strength to the joyful realization of God's goodness, the piece captures the full spectrum of the Christian journey. It leaves the church with a resounding, unified commitment to keep singing God's praise, finding countless reasons to worship His holy name.
