A PRIEST FOREVER

"A Priest Forever" is a joyful and steadfast anthem composed by Fr. Bart C. Ezeokafor. Drawing its core message from the Book of Hebrews and the Psalms, the song celebrates the sacred calling and eternal nature of the Catholic priesthood. It carries a dignified, marching rhythm that feels right at home during a grand entrance or a thanksgiving procession.

Choirs naturally bring this piece out for priestly ordinations, first Masses, and anniversaries. The verses remind the congregation that the priesthood is a divine calling—"No one takes this honour upon himself"—while the refrain echoes the ancient promise of the order of Melchizedek. When the voices unite on the lines about being an "ambassador of Christ," it creates a profound sense of gratitude for those who dedicate their lives to serving at the altar and heralding the Kingdom.
