MY PRAYER FOR YOU.

"My Prayer For You" is a tender nuptial blessing composed by Jude Nnam, widely sung by Catholic choirs across Nigeria during the wedding Mass. Rather than a general hymn of praise, the piece functions as a direct, heartfelt intercession for the newlywed couple. The lyrics walk through the foundational hopes of a Christian marriage: lasting love, peace and harmony, the gift of children, and establishing a home where Christ is the head.

What makes this piece especially moving in a wedding liturgy is its communal nature. The choir sings on behalf of the entire congregation, asking that the joy shared on the wedding day will abide forever and overflow to the needy. In this particular manuscript, the names "Juddy and Janny" are woven directly into the cadence of the music, showing how choirs personalize the blessing for the specific bride and groom standing before the altar. It is an earnest prayer that grounds the celebration in faith and community support.
