THANK YOU (IN IGALA, IGBO & ENGLISH)

"Thank You" by Omaye Isaac is a vibrant, trilingual song of praise that effortlessly weaves English, Igala, and Igbo into a joyful offering of gratitude. The piece opens with three reflective verses, acknowledging that without God's loving kindness, faithfulness, and mercy, we would not see the light of a new day. This gentle realization quickly gives way to a lively, high-energy chorus that lifts the spirit of the entire congregation.

As the tempo picks up, the choir breaks into powerful Igala titles for God, calling Him "Ọjọ ki do jale" and "Agaba Idu" (the Mighty Lion). The melody dances through declarations of God as provider and defender, celebrating how He turns mourning into dancing. It is a perfect fit for the Offertory procession or a Thanksgiving service, where the people bring their joy to the altar.

The song reaches its peak in a beautiful Igbo surrender: "Onye n'eme mma, lekwe ikpere m n'ala" (He who does good, see my knees on the ground). This vivid image of bowing down in worship, combined with the upbeat rhythm, captures the heart of Nigerian Catholic thanksgiving—a celebration that is both deeply reverent and wonderfully exuberant.
