THANKSGIVING OF AMAZING GRACE

"Thanksgiving of Amazing Grace" is a vibrant, joyful Offertory piece by Jude Nnam. It is a favorite in Nigerian Catholic parishes, especially during harvest thanksgivings, bazaars, and moments when the congregation dances forward to present their gifts. The song captures a deep sense of gratitude for God's protection, the gift of family, and the "unseen battles" fought on our behalf.

The refrain is built on a lively, layered harmony that highlights the "bountiful" and "miraculous" nature of God's grace, culminating in a prayer for God to bless the works of our hands. The verses draw from Psalm 24 ("The earth is the Lord's and ev'rything in it"), grounding the choir's praise in scripture before moving into personal thanks for health, children, and progress. It is a piece that naturally invites celebration and movement in the choir loft and the pews alike.
