FATHER, ALL POWERFUL

"Father, All Powerful" is a reverent choral setting by Jude Nnam that draws its text directly from the Eucharistic Preface of the Mass. The opening lines echo the familiar prayer of the priest at the altar, inviting the choir and congregation into the solemn mystery of the Consecration. It establishes a mood of deep thanksgiving and awe before the Eucharistic feast.

The verses walk through the narrative of the Last Supper, recalling Christ offering Himself as the spotless lamb and leaving us the memorial of His passion. Because of its clear focus on the sacrament and the altar, choirs often sing this piece during the Liturgy of the Eucharist, particularly as a meditation during Communion or to underscore the themes of the Consecration. The straightforward English text and steady harmony make it a grounding, prayerful addition to the Mass.
