Allah Yana Neman Mutum

"Allah Yana Neman Mutum" is a compelling Hausa choral piece that draws its text directly from the book of Ezekiel. The title translates to "God is looking for a man," setting up a powerful call to action for the choir and congregation. The composer notes the scriptural reference, Ezekiel 22:30, right at the top of the score, grounding the music in a prophetic search for someone to "build the wall and stand in the gap."

The lyrics echo this urgent plea, asking who will stand on behalf of the land. The music uses a strong call-and-response structure, with the voices urging "Kuzo Kuzo don gina wa Ubangiji" (Come, come to build for the Lord). This creates an inviting rhythm that builds as the voice parts layer together, moving from a solemn opening into an active, rhythmic march.

This piece is highly effective as an entrance hymn or during moments of dedication and renewal in the service. It challenges the faithful to step up and be the ones who stand for righteousness, making it a deeply moving song for fellowships and church choirs across Nigeria.
