Rey'akpevwe R'avware (Accept Our Gifts)

"Rey'akpevwe R'avware (Accept Our Gifts)" is a vibrant Urhobo offertory hymn that brings a wonderful sense of joy to the presentation of gifts. The lyrics are a direct and humble plea to God, asking Him to accept the bread ("ibredi") and wine ("udi") brought forward by the congregation. It captures that beautiful moment in the Mass when the people's everyday labor is offered up to the altar.

The arrangement is lively and rhythmic, giving the choir plenty of room to express gratitude. As the verses progress, the song expands from offering physical gifts to offering a sacrifice of thanksgiving ("izobo r'akpevwe"). Singing this piece during the offertory procession naturally lifts the spirit of the church, reminding everyone that we bring our gifts to the Lord simply because He alone is God ("vwe ovo y'Oghene").
