MY LORD AND MY GOD

"My Lord And My God" is a deeply reverent piece by Jude Nnam that draws the congregation into the heart of the Eucharistic mystery. From the very first notes of the refrain, the choir voices a profound personal surrender: "I give Thee, Lord, my all, Lord take and sanctify." It is a gentle but powerful declaration of faith, perfectly suited for those quiet, sacred moments when the gifts are brought forward or when the faithful approach the altar for Communion.

The verses beautifully trace the progression of the Mass itself. We begin with the physical elements in the first verse—"Here is the Bread, here is the Wine"—before moving into the spiritual reality of the second verse, where we find grace and peace deep in our souls. By the third verse, the act of sharing the Bread and Wine becomes a moment of profound healing. The melody carries these words with a calm, steady devotion that helps settle the minds of the congregation, preparing them to receive Christ.

Singing this piece requires a delicate touch from the choir. The harmonies in the refrain build a sense of earnest pleading, while the verses flow with a simple, narrative grace. It is a wonderful choice for the Offertory or Communion, offering a moment of true reflection and connection with the Lord who gives Himself entirely to us.
