Oluwa ni Iranlọwọ Mi

"Oluwa ni Iranlọwọ Mi" is a deeply comforting Yoruba choral anthem based on the reassuring words of Psalm 121. The title translates to "The Lord is my help," and the music captures the quiet, unshakable confidence of a soul that knows exactly who holds its future. From the opening notes, the choir declares God as our ultimate reliance—our everything in everything ("Oun ni oun gbogbo ninu oun gbogbo fun mi").

As the piece unfolds, the arrangement shifts to highlight different voices, reminding the congregation of the Creator of heaven and earth who watches over His people. The lively "Allegretto" section brings a burst of rhythmic energy, praising the God who never slumbers nor sleeps ("Kii su, kii toogbe"). It is a wonderful choice for a choir looking for a substantial, through-composed prayer of trust, lifting the spirits of the faithful and setting a tone of profound faith for the Mass.
