Ojochenemi / Ojochegbe

Jude Nnam brings us a vibrant arrangement that pairs a joyful Igala chorus with the comforting verses of a classic hymn. "Ojochenemi / Ojochegbe" opens with a bright, rhythmic declaration of God's protection and goodness, asking that familiar question: if God is for us, who can be against us? It immediately sets a tone of absolute confidence and gratitude.

The verses transition into the beloved lines of "I'll Trust in God," reminding the congregation that the same Creator who watches over the rose and guides the eagle through the pathless air is looking out for them. Choirs often use this piece during thanksgiving processions or as a recessional, where its upbeat tempo and reassuring message send the people out with lifted spirits. The contrast between the lively, syncopated refrain and the steady, marching verses gives all the voice parts something wonderful to sing.
