IHE M NWERE KAM GA ENYE DINWENU

"IHE M NWERE KAM GA ENYE DINWENU" is a joyful Igbo offertory hymn that captures the heart of giving at Mass. The title translates to "What I have, I will give to the Lord," and the song reminds the congregation that the best gifts we can bring to the altar are those that are good and pleasing to God. It is a staple during the presentation of gifts, encouraging everyone to step forward with gratitude.

In the choir loft, this piece is always a joy to sing because of its straightforward, rhythmic bounce. The short, punchy verses make it incredibly easy for the congregation to catch on and join in the responses of "ihe ọma" (good things) and "ezi Chukwu" (true God). By the time the choir reaches the final verse praying for peace, the entire church is usually swaying and singing along, turning the offertory procession into a deeply unified moment of thanksgiving.
