This piece is a profound Igbo setting of Psalm 110, celebrating Christ as the eternal high priest. The lyrics draw a direct line to the ancient priesthood of Melchizedek, who offered bread and wine to God. For a Catholic choir, singing this piece brings a deep sense of reverence to the loft, anchoring the congregation in the sacred mystery of the Eucharist.

Choirs often bring this piece out during the Communion rite or at the Offertory, where the sung imagery of bread and wine aligns perfectly with the liturgical action taking place at the altar. It is also a natural and beloved choice for priestly ordinations, anniversaries, and the solemnity of Corpus Christi. The verses walk steadily through the scriptural promises made to the Lord—moving from His seat at the right hand of the Father to His unchanging, eternal priesthood—giving the singers a powerful proclamation of faith to share with the whole church.
