AGAM EJE N'ALTER

"Agam Eje N'Alter" (I Will Go to the Altar) is a deeply reverent Communion hymn by Jude Nnam that draws the congregation into the mystery of the Eucharist. The song is built around Christ’s own words from the Gospel of John, reminding us that He is the Bread of Life who came down from heaven. When the choir leads the refrain, it becomes a personal declaration for every communicant stepping out of their pew: "I will go and receive the Body of Christ."

The verses gently unfold the promises attached to the sacrament. As we sing through the lines about the resurrection and the life, the music carries a quiet but firm conviction. It is a perfect piece for the Communion procession, setting a tone of reverence and obedience. The recurring phrase "Nri ọma Kristi na-akpọ m òkù, n'aga m aza" (The good food of Christ is calling me, I will answer) captures the heart of the Mass—a loving invitation to the Lord's table, and our willing response.
