LET US GO TO GOD'S HOUSE

"Let Us Go to God's House" is a vibrant and welcoming Entrance hymn composed by Lilian Ekwem. Drawing its inspiration directly from Psalm 122, the song captures the sheer excitement and anticipation of the faithful gathering for worship. From the very first downbeat, the choir issues a joyful call to praise, reminding the congregation that stepping into the church is an invitation to leave worldly sorrows behind and step into a place of divine peace.

The arrangement is structured to build momentum as the procession moves toward the altar. After the lively, rhythmic refrain, the verses reflect on the strength of Jerusalem and the unity of the tribes gathering in worship. The piece culminates in a beautifully layered third section where the choir sets up a rhythmic ostinato—repeating "let's go to God's house"—while a soaring soprano solo calls out to the brothers and sisters to bring their burdens to the Lord.

This dynamic interplay between the soloist and the choir creates the feeling of a bustling, joyful community streaming through the church doors. It is an ideal piece for the beginning of Sunday Mass or festive celebrations, setting an uplifting tone that prepares every heart for the Eucharistic banquet.
