LEGIDE JESUS ANYA

"Legide Jesus Anya" is a stirring call to mission and perseverance by Sir Sam Ojukwu. Written in a passionate mood, the song opens with the voice of Christ asking a direct question: "Whom shall I send?" He reminds us of His sacrifice on the cross, urging believers to take the Gospel to the ends of the earth and to love one another as He first loved us.

For a choir, the true emotional weight of the piece lands in the chorus. It speaks directly to the weary Christian, encouraging them to carry their cross no matter how heavy it gets ("Buru obe gị, o bedi arọ"). The repeated instruction to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus serves as a comforting anchor. It is a fitting choice for Lenten reflections, ordinations, or any liturgy focused on discipleship and the Christian journey, reminding the congregation not to lose heart.
