Onyedikachukwu

When we sing "Onyedikachukwu" during the Offertory, we are doing more than just walking up the aisle with bread and wine. We are reminding ourselves exactly who we are bringing these gifts to. The title asks a simple question—"Who is like God?"—and the verses answer it by recounting His mighty deeds. From making the blind see and walking on water, to feeding the multitudes and raising the dead, the lyrics paint a picture of an unmatched, all-powerful Father.

Jude Nnam’s arrangement gives each section of the choir a moment to lead, building a joyful momentum that fits perfectly with the procession of gifts. By the time we reach the fifth verse, the focus shifts directly to the altar. We sing of the sacrifice on the cross, the blood and water, and ask God to receive the bread and wine from the hands of the priest for the forgiveness of sins. It is a deeply moving way to connect the miracles of Christ’s life with the Eucharistic meal we are about to share.
