In Thanksgiving And Love

"In Thanksgiving And Love" is a bright, joyful Offertory hymn by Jude Nnam that perfectly captures the spirit of the procession of gifts. With its steady, rhythmic momentum, it invites the congregation to bring their bread, wine, and everyday lives to the altar. The song moves with an uplifting energy, reflecting the gladness of a community gathering to offer their best to God.

The verses are structured as a beautiful dialogue of offering, acknowledging God as the everlasting King and the source of all creation. As the choir sings of approaching the holy altar with thankful hearts, the short recurring refrain anchors the piece in its central message. It is a staple in Nigerian Catholic parishes, especially during festive Masses and harvest thanksgivings, where the imagery of joy "flowing like a river" comes alive in the aisles.
