Som Too Chukwu

"Som Too Chukwu" is a vibrant and joyful Igbo hymn of thanksgiving, composed by the renowned Jude Nnam. The title translates to an invitation: "Join me in praising God." From the very first notes, the song calls the congregation to reflect on God's mighty deeds and abundant blessings, asking what we could possibly give to the "Mighty in battle" who answers us whenever we call.

In the choir loft, this piece shines during the Offertory or as a lively Thanksgiving hymn. The verses beautifully describe bringing traditional instruments—the flute and the harp—alongside a sweet voice to make music for the Lord. It is a communal celebration of God's goodness, where the choir leads the people in declaring that His grace is as vast as the great ocean. The energetic rhythm and rich harmonies make it a favorite for festive Masses, lifting the spirits of everyone present.
