CALM ME LORD

"Calm Me Lord" is a gentle, meditative prayer that asks for God's quiet presence in the midst of life's storms. Originally written by Margaret Rizza and David Adam, this arrangement by Ukaegbu Theodore brings a soothing, layered harmony to the choir loft. It opens with a grounded male-voice introduction before blossoming into a full four-part plea for inner stillness.

Choirs often turn to this piece during moments of deep reflection, such as after Communion or during Adoration, when the congregation is invited into silent prayer. The lyrics are simple but profound, asking the Lord to "let all the tumult within me cease." As the voices weave together, culminating in an optional soaring descant on the final refrain, the music itself becomes a vessel of the very peace it prays for.
