JESU MO, LOVE MO (My Jesus, My Love)

"Jesu Mo, Love Mo" (My Jesus, My Love) is a deeply affectionate Communion hymn that captures the intimacy of receiving Christ in the Eucharist. Written by Emma Orji, the song blends Igbo and English in a tender expression of devotion. The lyrics speak directly to the heart's longing for the Lord to enter and make His home within us, with the refrain pleading, "Bịa bata biko" (Come in, please).

For a choir, this piece shines during the Communion rite, offering the congregation a moment of quiet, joyful reflection. The verses beautifully articulate the transformative power of the sacrament. In the third verse, the singer confesses, "Kemgbe m matara Gị a dighi kwam kam dị na mbụ" (Since I knew you, I am no longer as I was), highlighting the profound change that comes from encountering Christ.

The melody is marked "Con Spirito," giving it a gentle yet spirited movement that carries a sense of deep personal love for the Savior. It is the kind of song that lingers in the mind long after Mass has ended, reminding the faithful of the sweet and abiding presence of Jesus in their lives.
