CHRISTI UKOCHUKWU EBEBE (Ps. 110)

"Christi Ukochukwu Ebebe" is a majestic Igbo setting of Psalm 110, celebrating Christ as the eternal high priest. The refrain immediately draws the choir and congregation into the mystery of the priesthood, singing of the one who offers bread and wine in the order of Melchizedek. It is a text that resonates deeply during the liturgy, reminding the faithful of the sacred bridge between heaven and earth.

Choirs most often bring this piece out for priestly ordinations, anniversaries, and the feast of Corpus Christi. The verses walk through the royal and priestly promises of the psalm, from the Lord's command to sit at His right hand, to the eternal oath that will never be broken. Singing this arrangement by C.I. Ezenduka feels like a solemn proclamation, grounding the celebration in the ancient roots of the Church's faith.
