RYTHM OF HONOR

"Rythm of Honor" by Chris M. Ogu is a reverent and majestic Communion hymn that draws the heart toward the mystery of the Eucharist. The piece opens with a gentle soprano introduction before the full choir joins to offer praise to the Holy Trinity. It is a song of deep adoration, acknowledging Jesus as the one to whom all honor is due.

In the choir loft, this piece shines during the Communion procession. The verses walk singers and the congregation through a profound act of faith, echoing the centurion’s prayer: "Lord, we are not worthy... Say a Word and we shall be healed." It moves naturally from acknowledging Christ's presence in the sacrament to a personal declaration of love and a plea to remain close to His heart.

The final verse opens up into a litany, calling on the Virgin Mary, guardian angels, and all the saints to pray for us. This layered, call-and-response section builds a sense of the heavenly banquet, uniting the earthly church with the saints above as the faithful step forward to receive the body and blood of Christ.
