Lord, Teach Us Your Humility

"Lord, Teach Us Your Humility" is a gentle, reflective prayer set to music by Jude Nnam. Drawing its core message from the traditional invocation to the Sacred Heart—"Jesus, meek and humble of heart, make our hearts like unto thine"—the piece invites the choir and congregation into a space of quiet surrender. It is a song that asks for the grace to see the world differently: to understand the needs of others, to laugh at our own self-importance, and to acknowledge our weaknesses.

In the choir loft, this piece serves beautifully during Communion or as a meditative hymn after the homily, especially during Lent or on feasts dedicated to the Sacred Heart. The melody is unhurried and deliberate, marked *Andante*, giving singers the time to truly pray the words as they sing. The verses build a practical guide to Christian charity, moving from feeling the pains of others to serving them with a genuine heart.

When a choir sings this, the harmony supports a mood of deep introspection. It is not a loud anthem of triumph, but a quiet plea for inner transformation. The repeated refrain anchors the assembly, making it easy for the congregation to join in the central prayer, asking Christ to reshape our hearts to mirror His own.
