About MARANATHA COME OH LORD
"Maranatha Come Oh Lord" is a stirring Advent hymn that captures the deep longing and anticipation of the season. Written by Rev. Fr. Okwy Tony Umeh, the piece centers on the ancient Christian cry of "Maranatha." The refrain builds a sense of urgent, joyful expectation, calling on Jesus Christ to enter into our hearts and our world.
The verses draw directly from the prophetic call of John the Baptist, urging the faithful to "prepare a way for the Lord" and "make his paths straight." As the choir sings of levelling mountains and seeking true peace, the music invites the congregation into a spirit of repentance and readiness. It is an ideal choice for Entrance or Offertory processions during the weeks of Advent, reminding everyone gathered at Mass that the time to turn back to God is now.
