BRING THEM TO THE LORD

"Bring Them to the Lord" is a gentle, deeply personal Offertory hymn by Jude Nnam. While many presentation songs focus purely on the bread and wine or the fruits of our labor, this piece weaves in a profound sense of personal testimony. The refrain sets a clear, joyful intention to offer our gifts from the heart, making it a natural fit for the procession of gifts during Mass.

The verses shift the focus inward, reflecting on moments of spiritual darkness—losing our way, losing our sight, or feeling adrift on a troubled sea. In each verse, Jesus steps in to touch, speak, and guide the singer back to safety. When the choir sings these lines, it reminds the congregation that the most important gift we bring to the altar is our restored and grateful selves. It is a moving choice for Sundays when the readings touch on healing, redemption, or the Good Shepherd leading his flock.
