ALL THESE FOR ME by Festus Nkwoka — Lyrics
About ALL THESE FOR ME
"All These For Me" is a deeply moving Lenten piece that draws the choir and congregation into the heart of Christ's Passion. The lyrics walk us through the physical and emotional weight of the crucifixion—from the scourging at the pillar to the crown of thorns and the piercing of His side. It is a stark, personal reflection on the immense price of salvation, grounded in the humility of Christ taking on human form.
We often bring this piece out during Holy Week, especially on Good Friday or during the Stations of the Cross. The verses recount the events of Calvary with a quiet sorrow, while the refrain shifts into a direct, heartfelt response: "my Jesus I love you with all my heart." Singing this requires a gentle, expressive touch from the choir, allowing the gravity of the words to resonate in the church and invite the congregation into quiet prayer.
