CHI M SI M DIRI

"Chi M Si M DIRI" (My God is with me) is a vibrant Igbo song of testimony and thanksgiving, paired here with the joyful praise chorus "So Ngi Bu Onye Oma" (Only You are the Good One). Written by Adawai James, these pieces capture the lively, rhythmic spirit of Nigerian Catholic thanksgiving processions. The lyrics are deeply personal, speaking of surviving illness, returning safely from journeys, and recognizing God's hand in every deliverance. When the choir sings "Echetara'mgbem no n'oria" (I remember when I was in sickness), it resonates with anyone in the congregation who has experienced God's healing and protection.

The music naturally invites movement, making it a favorite for the Offertory or special thanksgiving moments during Mass. As the choir transitions into "So Ngi Bu Onye Oma," the focus shifts to pure adoration, acknowledging God as the merciful one who answers prayers and heals. It is a wonderful choice for a choir looking to lead the church in an uplifting, danceable declaration of faith, encouraging the people to bring their sacrifices of praise to the altar with joy.
