My Story (Thanksgiving)

"My Story (Thanksgiving)" is a deeply personal song of gratitude by Jude Nnam, often sung during the Offertory or special thanksgiving processions. The lyrics read like a heartfelt testimony, moving from reflections on God's saving grace to an outpouring of praise. When the choir sings about being a "living testimony" and remembering times when "all was lost," it resonates strongly with congregations who bring their own stories of struggle and deliverance to the altar.

The verses build a narrative of counting one's blessings—acknowledging the simple gifts of sight, hearing, food, and shelter—before leading into a joyful, rhythmic refrain. In the chorus, the voices layer together in a commitment to give everything back to God, asking Him to transform and purify the offerings. It is a wonderful piece for a lively thanksgiving Sunday, encouraging everyone in the pews to sing, dance, and offer their own stories of gratitude.
