JESU ONYE MMA MMA by Emeka Ujam S. (Emyrald) — Lyrics
About JESU ONYE MMA MMA
"Jesu Onye Mma Mma" is a vibrant, deeply inculturated Igbo anthem of praise that brings the vivid imagery of traditional proverbs into the choir loft. Arranged with rhythmic energy and joyful exclamations, the song paints a picture of God's supreme goodness and providence. The lyrics draw on deeply rooted cultural wisdom—reminding us that just as the eye that sees the rare eagle must praise its beauty, and just as the one who holds the yam and the knife decides who eats, so too must we lift our voices in absolute gratitude to the Lord who provides.
Perfect for festive occasions, cultural Sundays, or as a lively recessional, this piece thrives on its dynamic choral interplay. The voices weave together through soaring solos and robust harmonies, declaring that our God does not eat earthly food like yam, but rather feasts on the praises of His people. It is a song that naturally lifts the congregation to their feet, celebrating "Jesu nwa David" (Jesus, Son of David) with a spirit of profound, dancing thanksgiving.
