Some years back, when I was serving in Katsina State in Nigeria. We were about going for Community Development Services, commonly known as CDS, that this very song ministered to me. It was as if I had a personal encounter with my saviour, Jesus Christ.
I declare on that very day that the only true IGWE or KING is the LORD. He is the only God and there is nothing to hard for Him to do. Even impossibilities are nothing before the LORD.
However, Igwe is a gospel song by Mercy Chinwo that gives praise and honor to God. The word Igwe means “King” in Igbo, a Nigerian language.
This song is a declaration of God’s greatness and sovereignty, recognizing Him as the highest King above all others.
The lyrics below focus on worship and thanksgiving. The singer exalts God, calling Him the King of kings and acknowledging His power, love and faithfulness.
It expresses deep gratitude for everything He has done and continues to do in the lives of His people. It reminds listeners that God is worthy of all honor because He reigns over the entire universe.
In addition, the lyrics express appreciation for God’s blessings, protection and provision. The song reminds listeners to always be grateful, no matter their circumstances because God is always in control and working for their good.
A key message in Igwe is the recognition of God’s authority. He is the ruler over all things—nothing happens without His knowledge, and His power has no limits.
It encourages believers to submit to Him and trust in His leadership because He is a good and just King.
The song also highlights God’s faithfulness. He never fails, and His love never changes. People may go through challenges, but God remains constant. The lyrics encourage believers to rely on Him and praise Him at all times because He never abandons His children.
Igwe reminds believers that worship is not just about singing, it is about recognizing God’s greatness and giving Him the honor He deserves. The song invites everyone to lift their voices and praise God with all their hearts.
In all, Igwe is a song of praise, worship and gratitude. It declares that God is the ultimate King, encourages believers to trust in Him and reminds them to always be thankful for His love and faithfulness.
Through its powerful message, the song inspires deep worship and strengthens faith in God’s goodness. Hallelujah!!
