For Your Honour Lord

"For Your Honour Lord" is a reverent and uplifting Offertory hymn composed by Festus Nkwoka. It is a wonderful staple for the presentation of gifts, guiding the congregation as they bring their offerings of bread and wine to the altar. The lyrics draw rich parallels to biblical offerings, invoking the priesthood of Melchizedek and the acceptable sacrifice of Abel, grounding the choir's song in deep liturgical tradition.

During Mass, this piece shines as the choir leads the faithful in a prayer of consecration. The verses alternate between the specific gifts brought forward and a unified plea for God to receive and bless both the offerings and the people. With its steady, Quasi-Allegro tempo and clear harmony, it creates a joyful yet solemn atmosphere in the church, perfectly capturing the spirit of thanksgiving and self-offering at the heart of the Eucharist.
