Lamb Of God

This is a unique and deeply relatable setting of the Agnus Dei, sung entirely in Nigerian Pidgin English. Hearing the familiar fraction rite transformed into "Lamb of God O wey dey commot the sins of the world" brings the solemn petition of the Mass right down to the everyday language of the people. It bridges the gap between the sanctuary and the streets, making the plea for mercy feel incredibly personal and direct.

The structure follows the traditional three-part invocation. The first two verses ask for mercy ("a bego have mercy"), while the final verse shifts to the prayer for peace ("a bego grant us peace"). The use of "a bego" adds a profound sense of earnestness and humility to the prayer. For a Nigerian congregation, singing this just before Communion brings a special warmth to the liturgy, allowing the faithful to approach the altar with words that resonate deeply with their daily lives.
