NNA ZITERE NWA YA (Xmas)

When the Christmas season arrives in the choir loft, Jude Nnam’s "Nna Zitere Nwa Ya" is exactly the kind of piece that brings the celebration to life. The words point directly to the core of the Nativity: the Father sending His Son to us. From the very first notes, the song bursts with an infectious joy, calling everyone to rejoice in the Lord ("Nuriba na Chineke doo"). It is a bright, rhythmic invitation to celebrate the birth of the Savior.

The verses walk us through the wonder of the Incarnation. We sing of God coming down from heaven to take on human form ("Chukwu si n'eligwe bịa, Ọ bịara n'ụdị mmadụ"), bringing blessings and grace that reach all the earth. Because of its lively tempo and celebratory message, choirs often use this piece during the Entrance or Recessional processions at Christmas Mass, or as a vibrant thanksgiving song. It gets the congregation moving, lifting their voices to praise the God who remembered His children.
