Alo ga ee

"Alo ga ee" is a vibrant Idoma hymn that calls the congregation to move forward together in faith. With its repeating, joyful declaration "Alo ga ee" (We are going), the song carries the natural, rhythmic momentum of a procession. This makes it a wonderful choice for an Entrance hymn as the ministers approach the altar, or as a Recessional to send the people forth. The lyrics beautifully acknowledge God's supreme authority—calling Him "Ondu k a'Ondu Oche k a'Oche" (Lord of Lords, King of Kings)—and express a collective readiness to enter His presence with praise.

When the choir strikes up this piece, the driving harmony and rhythmic flow immediately lift the spirit of the Mass. It is the kind of song that gets the whole church stepping in time, uniting the voices in the choir loft with the congregation in the pews. Singing it feels like a shared journey, reminding everyone present that we are a pilgrim people walking together under the guidance of the Lord.
