Say Your Word

"Say Your Word" takes the familiar prayer we say right before receiving the Eucharist and turns it into a gentle, earnest choral plea. Obiefule C. ThankGod builds the piece around the Centurion’s act of faith, asking Jesus to be the true food of the soul. The melody carries a sense of deep trust, perfectly fitting the quiet, reverent moments of the Communion procession.

The verses are a quiet surrender, offering the heart to God and asking to be made like Him in humility and compassion. When the choir moves into the refrain, the repeated calls of "Say your word" create a layered, echoing harmony across the voice parts. It captures the shared longing of the congregation at the altar, waiting for the spiritual healing that comes from a single word of the Lord.
