CHIDERAA. - (What God has written, is written)

"Chideraa," which translates to "What God has written, is written," is a vibrant and deeply reassuring Igbo thanksgiving hymn. Composed by Anokwu Paschal C., the piece celebrates the unchangeable nature of God's will and the blessings He bestows on His people. The lyrics remind the congregation that whether day breaks or night falls, God's promises remain steadfast and true.

In the choir loft, this song shines during the Offertory or during special thanksgiving processions. The verses call out to different groups—the children of God, fellow Christians, and those blessed with children or wealth—inviting everyone to come forward and offer their praise. Originally dedicated for a couple's 30th wedding anniversary, the driving rhythm and layered choral responses build a sense of communal joy, making it a perfect fit for marriages and festive celebrations.

Singing "Chideraa" is a declaration of faith. As the choir sings of the Almighty whose words cannot be altered ("Okwu Gị enweghị mgbanwe"), it lifts the spirits of the congregation. It is a joyful reminder that God's plans are always for our good, and His final word is one of blessing and grace.
