Introduction:
Praise worship songs and choruses are melodious tunes incorporated into church music in Nigeria, and in other churches around the world. Christians from Nigeria take along with them some of these songs and practically use them in the culture they found themselves, irrespective of the church denominations.
Some of these songs are recorded on tapes and posted online, while the sources of a few are unknown.
Out of a huge number of these beautiful songs, we have written ‘30 Nigerian Praise-worship songs with tonic solfa’ for musicians and worship leaders who would need to play them on their instruments and sing as well. The songs are already in use for worship services in the churches and other outdoor programmes. We try as much as possible to notate the melodies to a near-perfect, for the copyright songs, and the songs by the unknown authors.
There could be one or few notes that are not quite sounding close to the way you may have known the songs; this could be easily changed with the aid of your instrument.
With the melodies written in tonic solfa, without the beat signs, that could be a bit challenging, though helpful if the performer has a fore-knowledge of the songs and listen to the audio recordings.
SONGS AND TONIC SOLFA
A huge compilation of Nigerian praise and worship songs and tonic solfa, suitable for worship leaders, musicians and singers.

You are God from beginning to the end,
There’s no place for argument
You are God all by Yourself.
You’ve got times and seasons in Your hands,
You called for light out of darkness,
You don’t need a man to be the God You are,
But You have chosen to call me Your own.

All I require for life God has given me I know who I am

I live a life of favor
I know who I am
I’m working like a wonder
It doesn’t matter what you see now
I see his Glory I know who I am

Onise iyanu, You are the God of awesome wonders, I’ve tasted of your power
Onise iyanu You have shown me so much mercies much more than I deserve
Omnipotent omniscience the One that does great things
Creation bows in awe of You, as we’ve come to give You praise
The word You speak turn things around
Your outstretched arm has lifted me
You took away the chains and colt that held me bound.
