E DAVWERO

"E Davwero" is a joyful Urhobo thanksgiving hymn composed by Ogaga Rume. The title translates to "I am grateful," setting the tone for a piece entirely focused on gratitude for God's immense goodness. In the choir loft, this song is a favorite for moments of deep, rhythmic thanksgiving, inviting the congregation to reflect on the great things the Lord has done ("emu ride wo rue").

As an Offertory hymn, it perfectly accompanies the procession of gifts. The melody is bright and structured with a repeating, infectious refrain that makes it easy for the assembly to join in. The verses build on this theme of praise ("Ujiro"), asking what we could possibly offer to adequately thank God for His blessings. It is a piece that brings a natural, swaying energy to the Mass, lifting hearts in genuine appreciation and reminding everyone of the simple joy of saying thank you to the Creator.
