Ekene Mo!

"Ekene Mo!" is a lively Igbo thanksgiving and offertory anthem composed by Bon. S. A. Inyang. The words carry a deep sense of personal gratitude, ringing out as a vibrant expression of thanks to God for His unchanging love and boundless goodness.

The piece is perfectly suited for the Offertory procession or as a general thanksgiving hymn during Mass. The lyrics invite the congregation to bring their best gifts and praises to the King of Heaven (Chukwu nke igwe). A particularly moving section reflects on human frailty versus divine faithfulness, asking who would remember us if God were merely human. This thoughtful moment quickly transitions into an energetic invitation to dance and offer joyful songs to the Lord, making the anthem a natural fit for festive celebrations and harvest thanksgivings in the parish.
