BO-FI (Come and eat)

"Bo-Fi (Come and eat)" is a reverent Communion hymn composed by Jude Nnam, set in the Ijaw language. The song serves as a direct invitation to the Lord's Table, calling the faithful to come forward and partake in the Eucharistic banquet.

During the Communion procession, as the choir leads the congregation, this piece brings a profound sense of spiritual nourishment. The verses explicitly mention "Zesu Kristi buru" (the body and bread of Jesus Christ), reminding communicants of the sacred mystery they are receiving. The gentle, flowing rhythm of the melody encourages a prayerful and reflective atmosphere in the church.

Choirs appreciate this piece for its straightforward yet beautiful harmonic structure, which allows the message of the Eucharist to shine through clearly. It is a fitting reminder that coming to the altar is a response to Christ's own invitation to eat, drink, and find life in Him.
