Oluwa Sanu fu wa

This handwritten score brings together two essential parts of the Mass: a gentle, pleading Kyrie sung in Yoruba, and a reverent Agnus Dei in English. Starting the liturgy with "Oluwa ṣaanu fun wa" (Lord, have mercy) immediately grounds the congregation in a spirit of humble preparation. The melody is simple and repetitive, allowing the faithful to easily join the choir in asking for God's grace before the readings begin.

As the Mass moves toward Communion, the choir shifts to the English "Lamb of God." The arrangement here builds a quiet, steady harmony that reflects the solemnity of the breaking of the bread. When the final invocation transitions from asking for mercy to the concluding "grant us peace," the music slows and settles, leaving the church in a calm, prayerful silence ready to receive the Eucharist.
