Tonu Jehova by A. Chinemerm Ukangwa — Lyrics
About Tonu Jehova
"Tonu Jehova" is a vibrant Igbo song of praise that calls all nations to lift up the name of the Lord. With its lively rhythm and joyful commands, the piece invites the congregation to worship God simply because He is good and entirely worthy of our honor. It is a wonderful choice for Entrance or Recessional processions, setting a tone of exuberant thanksgiving that immediately energizes the church and prepares the hearts of the faithful for the Mass.
The lyrics beautifully weave traditional musical imagery into worship, urging the choir and congregation to praise God with the ụne (a traditional stringed musical bow), the ụbọ akwara (harp), loud horns, and lifted voices. This instrumentation reflects the deep cultural roots of Nigerian Catholic music, where every available sound is offered back to the Creator. By calling on everyone to bow down to the King of all grace, the song captures the heart of a true thanksgiving celebration, ensuring that every voice and instrument joins in a unified, joyful chorus of "Tonu Jah!"
