OKWUTE DI NDU

"Okwute Di Ndu" (The Living Stone) is a triumphant Easter anthem by Jude Nnam that celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The song draws its core message from the scriptures, declaring Christ as the stone rejected by the builders which has now become the cornerstone. From the very first notes of the refrain, the choir announces His victory over death, proclaiming Him as the one who died and rose again to become the foundation of all things.

As the piece unfolds, the verses build a rich theological picture of the Church. The lyrics remind the congregation that Christ is the irreplaceable foundation laid by God, the beginning and the end. The choir sings of the faithful as living stones built into a spiritual house, while warning that this same cornerstone will crush the pride of unbelievers.

In the final section, the arrangement blossoms into a vibrant, polyphonic climax. The voices weave together in joyful praise, calling on Jesus as their strength, their shield in battle, and the source of living water. It is a majestic choice for Easter Sunday and the entire Easter season, filling the church with a profound sense of victory and unshakeable faith.
