Meaning & Inspiration

“Chukwu Oma (Good God)” by Neema Gospel Choir and Rehema Simfukwe is a long praise song that moves between Swahili, Igbo and English. The title is Igbo for “Good God.” The opening section is a prayer that when God comes down, He will come with the Word and with blessing, to bless the singer and to speak to him.

The verse is about waiting. The singer says he has been waiting for a long time, and that if God acts, many people’s faith will be lifted. He asks for just one word so that he may be free, blessed and healed. The next section turns into a declaration, “Chukwu oma, say a word,” followed by “It shall be done.”

Later sections are Swahili praise saying that when the Lord does something it is done, and His blessings never end but keep pouring out. The song ends with an invitation to dance and shout for Jesus. The central ideas are close to Matthew 8:8, Psalm 107:20 and Malachi 3:10, which speak of a word that heals and of blessing poured out.
