Ka M'metu Y'aka

"Ka M'metu Y'aka" is a deeply moving Igbo hymn composed by the legendary Harcourt Whyte. Drawing inspiration from the biblical story of the woman who sought healing by touching the hem of Christ's garment, the song is a profound expression of faith and surrender. The verses speak of hearing the comforting news of salvation and coming to the Messiah just as we are—whether blind, lame, or weighed down by sin and weakness.

In the choir loft, this piece is often sung during Communion or moments of quiet prayer and reflection. The refrain, "Ka m'je ka m'metụ Y'aka" (Let me go and touch His hand), carries a gentle, steady rhythm that invites the congregation into a space of deep personal devotion. Harcourt Whyte's signature harmonic style shines through, offering a soothing balm to the spirit and reminding us that even the slightest touch of faith brings healing and redemption.
