Lyrics
I belong to Jesus
Hundred percent
Satan has no right
He has no share
He has no stake in this life
Hallelujah
Ndum bu nke Chineke (My life belongs to God)
Ihe nile nkem nwere (Everything that I have)
Jesus nani gi ribe otuto (Jesus only you deserve the praise)
Ekwensu enweghi ike n'ebemno (The devil does not have power where I am)
Abum nwa nke Chukwu (I am a Child of God)
Jesus nani gi ribe otuto (Jesus only you deserve the praise)
Ndum bu nke Chineke (My life belongs to God)

Meaning & Inspiration
Ndum (My Life) centers on complete belonging to God. Its repeated declaration that life and every possession belong to Chineke gives the song the character of a public confession, while the English translations make its Igbo praise accessible. Jesus is named as the only one worthy of praise, the source of strength, and the King whose authority leaves evil without a claim on the believer’s life.
The imagery moves from personal surrender to confident spiritual security. Titles such as helper, owner, and King portray dependence rather than self-reliance, and the recurring response of praise keeps that confidence directed toward Christ. The lyric’s language of belonging closely aligns with the biblical theme that believers are God’s possession, while its claim that Satan has no rightful stake recalls deliverance from darkness into Christ’s kingdom. Repetition strengthens the central confession: identity, resources, safety, and worship are all placed under the rule of God.
