Oy'ala K'Owoicho

"Oy'ala K'Owoicho" brings the quiet reverence of the Agnus Dei into the Idoma language. Set by C. D. Ohorla, this piece is sung during the breaking of the bread, leading the congregation in the ancient plea to the Lamb of God for mercy and peace.

The arrangement is straightforward and deeply prayerful, allowing the choir to focus entirely on the weight of the words. As the voices layer the repeated phrases "menyi nyalo" (have mercy on us) and "jebo lalo" (grant us peace), it builds a gentle, meditative atmosphere in the church. It naturally centers the minds of the faithful as they prepare to step forward for Communion.
