CHINEKE NNA (Entrance)

"Chineke Nna" is a bright, welcoming Entrance hymn that sets a joyful tone for the start of Mass. The opening lines immediately gather the congregation with a shared purpose: we have come before God our Father today to bow down in profound thanksgiving. It is the kind of piece that energizes the procession, inviting everyone in the pews to lift their voices and hearts as the liturgy begins.

The verses beautifully expand on this invitation, calling the people to approach His presence to seek forgiveness and offer praise. Singing through the lines, the choir highlights God's attributes—His truth, His glory, and His gentle mercy ("Onye dị nwayọọ, Onye dị ebere"). The final verse rounds out the hymn with a Trinitarian doxology, praising the Father and the Son, and asking the Holy Spirit to come and dwell in our hearts. It is a wonderful, spiritually grounding way to cross the threshold into worship.
