THANK YOU MY LORD

"THANK YOU MY LORD" is a bright, joyful thanksgiving piece that gives a choir the perfect words to express gratitude for God's everyday blessings. Written by Austinmary Paul Anuebunwa, the song moves beyond general praise to name the specific gifts we often take for granted—our friends, our occupations, the air we breathe, and the music that fills our lives. It is a wonderful reminder for the congregation to count their blessings as they approach the altar.

The piece is structured with a catchy, recurring chorus that anchors three distinct verses. The soprano line leads the narrative, while the lower voices provide rhythmic and harmonic support, creating a lively and uplifting texture. Because the first verse explicitly calls the faithful to "bring forth your gifts," it is an excellent choice for the Offertory procession. Its spirited tempo and message of gratitude also make it a great Recessional hymn, sending the congregation out with a joyful melody they can carry through the week.
