EVERLASTING LOVE

This sheet brings together two short, earnest responses composed by Jude Nnam, designed specifically for the Prayer of the Faithful. "Everlasting Love" is a bright, affirming setting that reminds the congregation of God's enduring mercy for those who revere Him. In contrast, "Answer Me, O Lord" offers a gentle, direct plea for God's attention and grace, anchoring the intercessions in a spirit of deep trust.

During Mass, singing the response to the universal prayer transforms a routine moment into a unified, heartfelt petition. Because these pieces are brief and melodically intuitive, the assembly can easily pick them up after the choir introduces them. The four-part harmonies add a layer of warmth from the choir loft, elevating the spoken petitions and drawing the whole church into a shared moment of sung prayer.
