Jesus, Aha Na-atọ M Ụtọ by Sam Ojukwu — Lyrics
About Jesus, Aha Na-atọ M Ụtọ
"Jesus, Aha Na-atọ M Ụtọ" is a beloved Igbo spiritual composed by Sir Sam Ojukwu. It is a deeply comforting piece that reflects on the sweetness, majesty, and saving power of the name of Jesus. The melody is gentle and flowing, carrying a profound sense of devotion and trust in Christ's unchanging love.
Often sung during Communion or as a meditation hymn, the song allows the choir to lead the congregation into a space of quiet reflection. The composer notes on the score that the verses can be taken by a soloist while the rest of the choir hums in accompaniment, creating a reverent, intimate atmosphere. The lyrics speak of Jesus's steadfast love through trials, His deliverance in times of suffering, and His ultimate sacrifice on the cross at Calvary.
The repetition of the Holy Name in the refrain, coupled with the declaration that His name is the most glorious from the mountains to the valleys ("site n'ugwu rue na ndịda"), resonates powerfully with worshippers. It is a song that reassures the faithful of Christ's eternal salvation and His comforting presence in every circumstance.
