OUR CULTURES; WE CELEBRATE. by Jude Nnam — Lyrics

[Chorus] Behold in joy we sing; Our cultures we celebrate. And He shall reign in our heart and unity we shall embrace. Behold in joy we sing; Our cultures we celebrate. And He shall reign in our hearts and unity we shall embrace. [Refrain] Zo zo mu je. Zo mu je. Let us go and celebrate! E je ka lo! Zo zo mu je. Zo mu je. Let us go and celebrate! E je ka lo!

About OUR CULTURES; WE CELEBRATE.

"Our Cultures; We Celebrate" is a vibrant anthem of unity by Jude Nnam, widely known in Nigerian parishes as "The Unity Song." We often bring this piece out for Cultural Sundays, harvest thanksgivings, or national feast days when the congregation gathers to thank God for the diverse backgrounds of our people. It is a true choir favorite that never fails to lift the spirit of the church.

What makes this song so special is how it weaves together the different voices of Nigeria into one seamless call to worship. While the sopranos lead with a joyful English melody and phrases in Hausa ("Zo zo mu je") and Yoruba ("E je ka lo!"), the other parts echo the call in Igbo ("Bia nu k'anyi je"). It is a brilliant musical reflection of the lyrics themselves—reminding us that though we are many and diverse, we share one gospel and one shared history.

Singing this piece is always an energetic experience in the loft. The driving rhythm and the overlapping languages build a wonderful momentum, inviting the whole congregation to step forward and celebrate the blessings that flow from God to our nation.
