ZAN NACE / BA ZAN JI TSORO BA

This score brings together two Hausa hymns of faith, endurance, and absolute trust in God. The first piece, "Zan Nace" (I Will Persevere), draws its inspiration from Philippians 3:13-14. It is a resolute march forward, with the choir declaring their determination to press on toward the heavenly goal, enduring both joy and sorrow to win the crown of life.

The second piece, "Ba Zan Ji Tsoro Ba" (I Will Not Be Afraid), shifts into a lively, confident tempo. It reassures the faithful that even if the world turns against them, they have nothing to fear because the Lord is their shepherd. Hausa-speaking choirs often sing these pieces to encourage the congregation during times of trial, using the rhythmic, call-and-response lines to build a strong, unified sound that resonates with hope.
