Chi Obioma by Charles Onwubuya — Lyrics
About Chi Obioma
"Chi Obioma" is a vibrant Igbo song of thanksgiving and testimony. The lyrics express deep gratitude to God for His goodness, especially in times when there was no one else to look up to. The verses offer praise and honor, acknowledging God as the Almighty ("Odogwu") and the Creator of the world ("Okike ker'ụwa").
With its lively rhythm and call-and-response chorus, this piece is a natural fit for the Offertory procession or as a Recessional hymn. The choir leads the congregation in declaring God's praises, building up to an energetic chorus where the soprano line joyfully proclaims the good things the Lord has done.
Arranged in tonic sol-fa by Charles Onwubuya, the song captures the joyful spirit of Nigerian Catholic worship. The stacked verses allow the choir to tell a story of faith and deliverance, making it a moving addition to any festive Mass.
