Queen Of The Holy Innocent by Ugochukwu Martin — Lyrics
About Queen Of The Holy Innocent
"Queen of the Holy Innocent" is a poignant prayer-song often brought out during the Christmas octave, specifically for the Feast of the Holy Innocents. Ugochukwu Martin C. frames the piece as a direct plea to Mary, asking for the courage to stand firm in faith. The lyrics draw a powerful line between the children of Bethlehem and the modern trials Christians face, from persecution to the moments when "love seems too far."
In the choir loft, this piece requires a gentle but resolute delivery. The verses are structured as a litany of modern struggles, each answered by a unified, harmonised cry of "Help us, help us." It is a moving choice for feast days dedicated to martyrs, reminding the congregation that the call to give our lives for Christ's sake remains as real today as it was in the early days of the Church.
