Ka M'metu Y'aka

"Ka M'metu Y'aka" is a deeply moving piece of Igbo choral music that draws its strength from the biblical story of the woman who reached out to touch the hem of Christ’s garment. The verses recount the comforting message of love and salvation brought by the Messiah, reminding us that no one—whether blind, lame, or weighed down by sin—is ever turned away. It is a song of profound faith and determination, capturing the quiet courage it takes to seek healing.

In the choir loft, this piece shines during moments of reflection, particularly during Communion or penitential seasons. The melody carries a gentle, steady rhythm that builds into the earnest plea of the refrain: "Ka m'je ka m'metu Y'aka" (Let me go and touch His hand). When the voices unite in this chorus, it becomes a shared prayer for the whole congregation, offering a clear reminder of the grace waiting for anyone who steps forward in faith.
