EN'IGWE by CHARLES ONWUBUYA — Lyrics
About EN'IGWE
"En'igwe" is a vibrant and triumphant Entrance hymn composed by Charles Onwubuya, drawing its core inspiration from the joyful words of Psalm 122: "I rejoiced when they said to me, let us go to the house of the Lord." Sung in Igbo, the piece serves as a spirited call to worship, inviting the congregation to journey together into God's presence with thanksgiving and praise.
The arrangement opens with a stirring tenor recitative before breaking into a rhythmic, full-choir chorus that captures the excitement of approaching the heavenly Jerusalem. As the verses unfold, the song moves from a collective march of faith into declarations of victory. In its dynamic final section, the choir boldly proclaims that in the presence of God, poverty and sudden death will flee, replaced by "Ifeoma" (good things) and ultimate triumph.
Perfect for festive Entrance processions, "En'igwe" creates an atmosphere of profound hope and celebration. It reminds every singer and congregant that the journey to the altar is a foretaste of the heavenly kingdom, where God's goodness and blessings await all who enter His gates with joy.
