Ya Kare!

"Ya Kare!" (which translates to "It is finished") is a deeply moving Hausa choral piece that reflects on the final moments of Christ on the cross. Composed by Jacob Okwori, the song draws the choir and congregation into the sorrow and profound love of Good Friday. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the crucifixion, inviting us to look upon the King of the world crowned with thorns, bearing the marks of the nails in His hands and feet.

The music is arranged with solemn, deliberate harmonies that carry the weight of the Passion. As the voices weave together, they echo Christ’s surrender to the Father's will and His ultimate sacrifice to wash away our sins. It is a powerful anthem for Holy Week, especially fitting for Good Friday veneration or Lenten reflections, reminding every listener of the immense price paid for our redemption.
