ZESU ANGO

"Zesu Ango" is a deeply reverent Communion hymn composed in the Ijaw language, calling the faithful to partake in the Eucharistic banquet. The title translates to "Body of Jesus," and the song's gentle, flowing melody creates a perfect atmosphere for the procession to the altar.

The lyrics reflect on the profound mystery of the Eucharist, making direct references to the altar bread ("olta bredi") and the body and blood of Christ ("Zesu ango mo asiin mo"). As the choir leads the congregation through the verses, the repeated calls to come and eat ("kon n'a fi") and drink ("kon n'a bou") serve as a beautiful invitation to receive the sacrament. It is a piece that grounds the choir and the assembly in the solemnity and grace of Communion.
