HALLELUYA, CHIM LE by C. N. Osinigwe — Lyrics
About HALLELUYA, CHIM LE
"Halleluya, Chim Le" is a vibrant song of thanksgiving that bursts with the joy of a heart set free. Arranged with a lively, rhythmic drive, the Igbo lyrics speak deeply of divine healing and deliverance—praising God for taking away sickness and sorrow ("Ebigwọrọ m ọrịa jị m le"). It is a deeply personal testimony that naturally overflows into communal praise, as the choir and congregation join in the promise to give God unceasing thanks ("A ga m atụrụ gị mma mma").
In the liturgy, this piece shines brightest during the Offertory procession or as a Recessional hymn. The energetic call-and-response structure and the driving solfa harmonies make it impossible to stand still. When the choir launches into the rhythmic verses, it invites the whole church to dance forward with their gifts, celebrating the Lord who holds us firm and never lets go ("Papa arapụkwala m aka"). It is a true celebration of faith, resilience, and the goodness of God.
