Ijesu Igha Ga

"Ijesu Igha Ga" is a joyful Edo song of dedication and absolute trust in God's providence. The title declares a firm resolve to serve Jesus, and the chorus anchors this commitment, promising that we will serve Him all the days of our lives, sealed with a resounding "Ise" (Amen).

The verses walk through the everyday milestones and necessities of life—bearing children, building a home, farming, trading, and even the food and water we consume. For each of these, the choir sings "ob'Osa ere hia kere re," acknowledging that everything ultimately rests in God's hands. It reminds the congregation that our daily labor and future plans depend entirely on His grace.

Because of its rhythmic, litany-like verses and themes of thanksgiving, this piece works perfectly for the Offertory or as a lively Recessional hymn. It brings a celebratory energy to the Mass, inviting everyone to step forward in faith and surrender their life's endeavors to the Lord.
