SAY A WORD!... by Ifeanyichukwu Eze — Lyrics
About SAY A WORD!...
"Say a Word!..." is a deeply reverent Communion hymn that draws directly from the Centurion’s prayer, a text every Catholic recognizes from the moments just before receiving the Eucharist. Ifeanyichukwu Eze sets this profound declaration of humility—"Lord I am not worthy to receive Thee"—to a gentle, flowing melody that allows the choir and congregation to reflect on the mystery of the sacrament.
The verses build on this theme of spiritual hunger and healing. As the sopranos lead the choir through lines like "You are the Bread that was broken" and "Heal my soul," the music creates a quiet space for personal devotion. It is an ideal piece for the Communion procession, offering a prayerful soundtrack as the faithful come forward. The repeated plea, "Only say a word and my soul shall live," anchors the song in a spirit of deep faith and surrender.
