Like Olive Branches by Jude Nwankwo — Lyrics

REFRAIN Like olive branches around the table of the Lord, so God's children in the Church. VERSE 1 Blessed are those who fear the Lord, who seek His path, for they shall find favour in His sight. VERSE 2 Blessed be the toil of hands, they shall bear fruit. In joy and in gladness shall you work. VERSE 3 With good fortune in your home, shall you be blessed. Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine.

About Like Olive Branches

"Like Olive Branches" draws its text directly from Psalm 128, painting a vivid picture of family life rooted in faith. The melody carries a gentle, flowing rhythm that naturally evokes the imagery of a fruitful vine and strong olive shoots gathered around the family table. It is a song of blessing, promising peace and prosperity to those who walk in the ways of the Lord.

Choirs frequently sing this piece during weddings, where its message of marital joy and fruitful family life resonates deeply with the couple and the congregation. It also serves beautifully as a responsorial psalm. The straightforward verse structure allows the choir to deliver the text clearly, building up to the final prayer for peace upon Israel.
