About I bu Ukochukwu Ebeebe n'usoro nke Melkisedek

This responsorial psalm setting for the Feast of Corpus Christi (Year C) draws its text from Psalm 110, celebrating the eternal priesthood of Christ. The refrain, "I bu Ukochukwu Ebeebe n'usoro nke Melkisedek" (You are a priest forever, in the line of Melchizedek), anchors the congregation in the profound mystery of the Eucharist and Christ's unending mediation for us.

Ezewata Stanley's solfa arrangement gives the choir a steady, reverent melody that carries the weight of the scriptural text. The verses recount the Lord's promises to the eternal King and Priest, from taking His seat at the right hand of God to ruling from Zion. It is a fitting piece for the Liturgy of the Word on Corpus Christi, Holy Thursday, or ordination Masses, where the focus turns to the institution of the priesthood and the breaking of bread.
