About CHIDERAA
"Chideraa," which translates to "What God has written, is written," is a vibrant Igbo song of thanksgiving and absolute trust in divine providence. It captures that profound moment in worship when we recognize that God's plans are unchangeable and His blessings are sure. The opening lines declare Him as the Almighty and glorious warrior ("Okaka," "Ebube Dike"), setting a tone of deep reverence before breaking into a joyful invitation to praise.
In the choir loft, this piece shines during celebrations, anniversaries, and thanksgiving processions. The verses call on everyone—children of God and fellow believers—to come forward and offer thanks for the good things He has done. The melody is energetic and rhythmic, driving home the central message that God's word has no substitute or alteration ("Okwu Gi enweghi mgbanwe").
Singing "Chideraa" brings a special kind of joy to the congregation. It is a reminder that our lives are held in the hands of a faithful Creator. As the choir builds up to the finale, the repeated affirmations of God's goodness create an atmosphere of total surrender and gratitude, making it a perfect choice for days of special rejoicing.
