JESUS OBONG AKAN MKPA - EHB 206

"Jesus Obong Akan Mkpa" (Jesus the Lord Conquers Death) is a triumphant Efik hymn celebrating the resurrection of Christ. Arranged by Domingo Inyang, the piece is a familiar sound for choirs in the Catholic Diocese of Uyo and across the region during the Easter season. Its verses recount the dramatic events of Easter morning—from the disciples running to the empty tomb to Jesus revealing Himself and giving them His instructions.

The song's energy lies in its driving, rhythmic chorus, which repeatedly proclaims "Enye eset oworo k'udi" (He is risen from the grave). This joyful repetition makes it a perfect fit for Easter Sunday Mass, serving beautifully as an Entrance or Recessional hymn where the choir and congregation can join together in a vibrant declaration of faith and victory over death.
