LEEM DINWENU (Ps 39)

"Lee M Dinwenu" is a profound Igbo setting of Psalm 39 (often numbered as Psalm 40 in modern Bibles), capturing the psalmist's ultimate prayer of surrender: "Here I am Lord, I come to do your will." The melody carries a deep sense of reverence and readiness, making it a moving piece for moments of personal and communal dedication.

In the liturgy, choirs frequently sing this during the Responsorial Psalm, but its theme of offering oneself completely to God makes it equally fitting for the Offertory, Consecration, or Ordination Masses. The verses recount God's faithfulness—hearing our cries and putting a new song in our mouths—while reminding the congregation that true sacrifice is an open ear and an obedient heart. It is an earnest expression of faith that resonates deeply from the choir loft to the pews.
