I Feel Like Singing

"I Feel Like Singing" is a bright, joyful thanksgiving piece by Rev. Fr. Emeka Umana that captures the simple, overwhelming urge to praise God. The lyrics draw from a place of deep personal gratitude, reflecting on the "wonder of my being" and the endless goodness of the Lord. It is the kind of song that naturally lifts the mood in the church, moving from a thoughtful, unison verse into a lively, full-hearted choral refrain.

Choirs often bring this out during the Offertory or as a Recessional hymn, especially on days of celebration, harvest, or thanksgiving. The melody is catchy and accessible, making it easy for the congregation to catch the tune and join in. When the voices unite in the chorus to declare that God has "put a new song into my mouth," it brings a genuine sense of shared joy and gratitude to the Mass.
