SOMKENECHUKWU by Fr. Bart C. Ezeokafor — Lyrics
About SOMKENECHUKWU
"Somkenechukwu" is a vibrant Igbo thanksgiving song that invites the entire congregation to join in praising God for His endless goodness. The title translates to "Join me to thank God," setting a joyful and communal tone right from the first beat. It is an ideal piece for the Offertory or Thanksgiving procession, where the choir and the people bring their gifts and gratitude to the altar.
The lyrics are a heartfelt declaration of God's faithfulness, singing that His good deeds are simply too numerous to count. The melody builds with energetic praise, calling God the eternal rock ("Nkume mgbe ebighịebi") and the victorious warrior ("Ebube dike, Onye mmeri"). Choirs love this piece for its lively, rhythmic drive and its powerful call to crown God as King, making it a deeply uplifting addition to any festive Mass or celebration.
