Oghenefejiro

"Oghenefejiro" is a vibrant Urhobo song of praise and thanksgiving, whose title translates to "God is worthy of praise." Written by Oghenerukeywe C. Inoko, it is a wonderful choice for moments of high celebration in the liturgy, particularly during the Offertory or thanksgiving processions. The music captures the joyful, communal spirit of bringing our gifts and gratitude to the altar.

The arrangement is highly dynamic, opening with a bright call to worship before moving into verses that declare God's holiness and mighty works. As the piece develops, it breaks into an energetic call-and-response section featuring a tenor solo and a cantor, layered over the choir's rhythmic vamps. This interlocking structure gives the song a driving, festive momentum that naturally lifts the congregation's voices and spirits.
