BATA DINWENU

"Bata Dinwenu" is a deeply moving Igbo prayer of invitation, composed by Ukoh Benjamin. The words evoke a heartfelt plea for the Lord to enter the singer's heart. With its gentle, pleading melody, the song captures the profound longing of a soul seeking communion with Christ, acknowledging Him as the protector, the comforter of the brokenhearted, and the light in the darkness.

In the choir loft, this piece is a natural choice for Communion or moments of quiet Adoration. The arrangement allows the voices to blend in a litany of surrender, moving through verses that offer everything to God. As the song reaches its coda, the choir sings a simple, powerful declaration of love—"Ahụrụ m gị n'anya Jesu"—leaving the congregation in a state of peaceful, intimate worship.
