About EJI M OBIM NILE EKELE GI
"Eji M Obim Nile Ekele Gị" is a joyful Igbo setting of Psalm 138, expressing profound gratitude to God. The title captures a wholehearted declaration of thanks, echoing the psalmist's promise to sing God's praises even in the presence of the angels.
The verses walk through a journey of faith and reliance on divine providence. They recount how God answers prayers, gives strength to the weary, and shows mercy to the lowly while remaining supreme over the proud. The final verse builds into a confident plea, reminding the congregation that God's steadfast love endures forever and asking Him never to forsake the work of His hands.
In the liturgy, this piece shines as an Offertory hymn or a vibrant song of thanksgiving. The arrangement gives different sections of the choir their moment to lead—with the bass taking the second verse and the tenor leading the third—creating a dynamic and engaging experience for both the singers in the loft and the congregation in the pews.
