ABU M NKE GI JESU by Nath Nwoko — Lyrics
About ABU M NKE GI JESU
ABU M NKE GI JESU is a tender, deeply personal Communion hymn that captures the quiet reverence of receiving the Eucharist. Composed by Nath Nwoko, the song is a gentle invitation for Christ to enter the heart of the communicant. The refrain, with its simple plea "Jesu, bia biri n'ime m" (Jesus, come live in me), sets a tone of surrender and profound love, making it a moving piece for the choir to lead during the distribution of Holy Communion.
The verses draw on rich Eucharistic imagery, referring to the sacrament as the "Bread of Life" (Achịcha dị ndụ) and the "Bread of Angels" (Nri ndị mmụọ ozi). As the choir moves through the stanzas, the arrangement alternates between intimate duets and full-choir responses, mirroring the personal yet communal nature of the Mass. It is a song that invites the entire congregation into a moment of quiet adoration, reminding every singer that they belong entirely to God.
