DZIDZƆM BE MENYE YESU TƆ by Kenn Kafui — Lyrics
About DZIDZƆM BE MENYE YESU TƆ
"Dzidzɔm Be Menye Yesu Tɔ" (I Am Glad I Belong to Jesus) is a lively and rhythmic choral piece by Kenn Kafui, originally dedicated to the Aggrey Chapel Choir. Sung entirely in Ewe, it is a bright declaration of faith that brings an immediate, infectious energy to the choir loft. The music bounds forward with a joyful step, perfectly matching the gladness of a believer who knows they are held by God.
The lyrics trace a deeply personal journey of grace. The choir sings of a joy that comes directly from Jehovah ("Dzidzɔ sia tso Yehowa gbɔ") and marvels at a Creator who knew us before we were even formed. As the piece builds, it moves into a beautiful promise of companionship: "Nye kple wóe le zɔzɔm" (He and I are walking). It is a confident reassurance that the Lord, the King of Peace, will never abandon His own.
With its vibrant four-part harmonies and driving tempo, this song is a wonderful choice for moments of high praise. Choirs often use it as a recessional hymn or during festive thanksgiving processions, sending the congregation out with a lifted spirit and a song of genuine gladness on their lips.
