Following the success of her 2023 EP, Elevated, which caught the undivided attention of fans of gospel songs, Mercy Chinwo is out with another worship single titled “Oke Mmiri.”
Released on September 8, 2023, Oke Mmiri is Chinwo’s latest worship song rendered in Igbo and English.
The song, which presents simple but rich lyricism, is an ode that sings praises of the greatness of God. The lyrics showcase the undeniable qualities of the Almighty God that make Him the supreme ruler of the universe.
The personae emphasise this by extolling Him in a compelling and genuine worship, steaming a fragrance of submission and humility.
Though most parts of the lyrics are in English, the title, which indeed forms the opening lines of the chorus, finds its root in the Igbo language. The landscape and cultural of the Nigerian ethnic group serve as a rich oral element in the song.
“Oke mmiri n’ebu ogwe” is an Igbo indigenous expression that means “great water that carries a fearful storm.” This remark forms the essence of the song, because it sets the tone for the succeeding lines.
Oke Mmiri is a great addition to the list of powerful worship songs by Mercy Chinwo because of the compelling mood that runs through the playtime. No one listens to the song and denies this fact.
The profound use of the plural pronoun “we” in the chorus of the song also brings about a sense of inclusiveness that invites the audience to join in the worship.
The audience also finds a place in the song immediately and hops on it with all sense of adoration.
Add also that the delivery of the song is fantastic, in that Chinwo captivates us with her amazing vocals and lit our mood through her impressive worship lead. The music minister is able to charge the atmosphere and connect us with the heavenly bodies.
Summarily, Oke Mmiri by Mercy Chinwo is another beautiful addition to our playlist. It is a compelling worship rendered in simple but rich lyrics that extol the greatness of God. With the powerful voice and impressive vocals of the artist, the song has replay value among fans of gospel music.
