Everlasting Love

This sheet brings together two short, deeply moving choral responses composed by Jude Nnam, a familiar name in Nigerian Catholic music. The first piece, "Everlasting Love," draws its text from the Psalms, offering a gentle reminder of God's enduring mercy. The melody flows with a quiet reverence, building up to the reassuring promise that His love rests "upon those who hold Him in fear." It serves beautifully as a meditative chant or a brief choral interlude during quiet moments of the Mass.

The second piece, "Answer Me, O Lord," is explicitly written as a response for the Prayer of the Faithful. During the intercessions, when the congregation brings its petitions before the altar, this short four-part harmony provides a unified, heartfelt plea. The soprano line leads the church in a simple, earnest cry—"In your great love, answer me, O Lord"—while the lower voices provide a warm, supportive bed of harmony.

Choirmasters often keep short, accessible responses like these in their folders because they are easy to teach and instantly elevate the liturgy. Sung a cappella or with light accompaniment, these two pieces help the congregation enter more deeply into the spirit of prayer, turning spoken petitions into a shared, harmonious sigh of faith.
