O LORD, SEND YOUR LIGHT

"O Lord, Send Your Light" is an earnest, driving prayer for divine illumination composed by Jude Nnam. With its steady, allegretto tempo, the piece moves with a sense of urgency and purpose. The lyrics speak directly to the desire for spiritual clarity—asking God to remove doubts, scatter the darkness of night, and reveal His truth so that we might not be deceived. It is a plea not just to see the light, but to be transformed by it, as the refrain joyfully asks the Lord to "make me shine for everyone to see."

In the choir loft, this song serves beautifully as an Entrance hymn or a reflective piece during Pentecost and moments of renewal. The melody is carried primarily by the sopranos, while the lower voices provide a rhythmic, echoing foundation that gives the anthem its forward momentum. Singing this piece requires a bright, energetic tone, especially when transitioning into the uplifting refrain. It is a wonderful choice for a congregation gathering in worship, setting a tone of open-hearted readiness for the Mass.
