🕊️ "Tohanmwen Osanobua" — Have Mercy On Me, O God
Composed by John Ezomo | Originally performed by SCC Unilag at FILM 2017
On this Divine Mercy Sunday, The Flock offers this heartfelt rendition of
"Tohanmwen Osanobua" — a beautiful sacred choral piece in the Benin (Edo)
language, whose title translates simply and profoundly as "Have Mercy On Me,
O God."
The piece was originally composed by John Ezomo, a gifted Nigerian Catholic
composer and medical doctor, and was first performed by the St. Cecilia Choir
(SCC) of the University of Lagos (UNILAG) at the 2017 edition of the Forum
for the Inculturation of Liturgical Music (FILM) — Nigeria's biennial
celebration of indigenous Catholic choral music.
As we celebrate Divine Mercy Sunday — the Second Sunday of Easter — this
prayer of mercy sung in the Edo/Benin language reminds us that God's mercy
knows no language, no boundary, no limit.
