Oge Erugo

There is a distinct energy in the church when the entrance procession begins, and "Oge Erugo" captures that moment perfectly. The title translates to "The time has come," signaling to the congregation that the moment to gather before the altar is here. With its bright, allegro tempo, it calls the children of God to come together in worship and bow before the Lord of peace.

Composed by Jude Nnam, this piece is a staple in Nigerian Catholic parishes, especially when a joyful, unifying call to worship is needed. The lyrics urge the faithful to come and bow down, to praise the Almighty who is the supreme God. It is a song that not only sets a reverent yet uplifting tone for the Mass but also reminds the choir and the congregation of the shared purpose of their gathering.
