ZUKOTANU FEE CHINEKE

"Zukotanu Fee Chineke" is a vibrant Igbo entrance hymn composed by Rev. Fr. Okwy Tony Umeh. The title translates to a warm invitation: "Gather together and worship God." From the very first notes, it sets a joyful and reverent tone for the Mass, calling the blessed congregation to come forward and offer true praise to God the Father.

The verses beautifully expand on this call to worship. They remind the choir and the assembly of God's majesty as the Creator who sustains the world, urging all nations to bow down and declare His goodness. The lyrics emphasize that all creation—both nature and humanity—owes Him praise.

A special highlight of the arrangement is the concluding soprano solo, which acts as a triumphant coda. It invites the church to dance for the King of Kings with "egwu ụmụ ọgaranya" (the dance of the noble), celebrating a heavenly kingdom that outlasts the earth. It is an excellent choice for the start of Sunday Mass or festive celebrations, instantly lifting the spirits of the congregation as the procession moves toward the altar.
