About Okaka Imeka
"Okaka Imeka" is a lively and deeply grateful Igbo offertory hymn that calls the congregation to bring their best gifts to the Lord. The title expresses profound thanks to the Almighty, acknowledging God as the Supreme Creator ("Okaka") and the mighty warrior ("Odogwu"). The chorus sets a joyful, processional tone, urging everyone to bring good gifts to the Master who has done so much for us.
As the verses unfold, the song reflects on God's ultimate provision. It reminds singers that God created humanity and all things, giving us dominion over the earth. The final verse carries a particularly moving message for the offertory procession: it calls on the stars and the sun to praise God, and reassures those who might feel they have nothing material to give. By singing "Ndụ ka akụ" (Life is greater than wealth), the choir reminds the faithful that the gift of life itself is the greatest offering we can bring to the altar.
