Odomankoma by Newlove Kojo Annan — Lyrics
About Odomankoma
"Odomankoma" is a vibrant Ghanaian choral piece that draws its title from the Akan name for the Almighty, Infinite Creator. Composed with a driving Agbadza rhythmic accompaniment, the song is an exuberant declaration of praise. The lyrics speak of lifting God's name before all nations ("me bɔ Wodin wɔ amansan anim") and acknowledging that every new day, our health, and our peace flow directly from His grace.
In the choir loft, this piece shines during moments of profound thanksgiving, joyful celebrations, or as a lively recessional. The infectious, traditional dance rhythm naturally invites movement and percussion, allowing the congregation to join in the spirit of gratitude. As the voices layer their thanks—offering praise, adoration, and blessings ("Y'aseda, y'ayeyi, yɛn ntomtom")—the song builds into a powerful, unified celebration of God's endless goodness.
