Cheta (Remember)

Song Meaning

Igbo and English trade lines in Ada Ehi's "Cheta," with the title word meaning "remember." The song is voiced largely from God's side: "I am Jehovah, and I am able," followed by the questions "Is anything too hard for me? Is it ever too late for me?" A spoken-chant pulse, "Abum, abum" (I am, I am), keeps returning the listener to the divine name.

The middle section gathers credentials from Scripture. This is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, who makes dry bones rise, speaks light into the dark, gives the barren a song and raises the dead, the first and last, beginning and end. Every claim is an answer to a specific kind of hopelessness, and the line "Whatever you need, Abum" pushes it into the present tense.

The closing call, "Obimo cheta" (Beloved, remember), speaks gently to the person who has forgotten: "You are not alone." Exodus 3:14, Jeremiah 32:27 and Hebrews 13:8 support the I AM claims and the unchanging character the song repeats, and Ezekiel 37:5 stands behind the dry bones.
