Ojo Ch'adejute-Mi

"Ojo Ch'adejute-Mi" is a reverent Igala setting of Psalm 23 ("The Lord is my shepherd"). Composed by Idegeli Matthew O., it captures the deep comfort and assurance of the beloved psalm, translating its imagery of green pastures, still waters, and divine protection into the rich cadences of the Igala language.

Choirs often sing this piece as a Responsorial Psalm or during Communion, where its themes of spiritual nourishment and God's guiding presence resonate most strongly with the congregation. The gentle, flowing solfa arrangement allows the choir to express the profound peace of resting in the Shepherd's care, culminating in the confident promise of dwelling in the Lord's house forever.
