Uche Nna m

"Uche Nna m" is an uplifting choral setting of Psalm 40 by Fr. Gabriel Okeke. The title speaks of the Father's will, and the lyrics echo the psalmist's ultimate surrender: "Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will." It is a piece that invites the entire congregation into a posture of obedience and readiness to serve.

The musical arrangement opens with a lively, rhythmic refrain where the choir declares a total commitment to go wherever God leads and do whatever He asks. The verses then unfold the scriptural narrative, recounting how God desires an open heart and listening ears more than burnt offerings or sacrifices.

In the liturgy, this piece fits perfectly during the Responsorial Psalm or at the Offertory, as the gifts—and our very lives—are brought to the altar. Singing "Lee mo abịaram im'uche Gị" (Here I am, I have come to do your will) resonates deeply in the choir loft, reminding us that our truest worship is a life lived in harmony with God's purpose.
