CHIDINMA

"Chidinma" is a joyful Igbo thanksgiving hymn composed by Jude Nnam. The title translates to "God is good," and the song is a vibrant declaration of God's endless generosity. In the refrain, the choir brings a "beautiful gift" (onyinye mara nma) to the Lord, acknowledging that He is the ultimate giver of all good things.

The verses draw beautifully from Psalm 130, comparing the soul's longing for God to a watchman waiting for the dawn. As the song progresses, it counts the specific blessings God provides—wisdom, intelligence, wealth, and children—marveling at how His deeds fill the heart with awe. It is a perfect piece for the Offertory procession or a dedicated thanksgiving moment during Mass, where the congregation dances forward to present their gifts.
