WE SHALL GO TO GOD'S HOUSE. by JUDE ORAKWE — Lyrics
About WE SHALL GO TO GOD'S HOUSE.
Jude Orakwe's "WE SHALL GO TO GOD'S HOUSE." is a bright, joyful setting of Psalm 122. It captures the exact feeling a congregation should have as Mass begins—a sense of gladness and anticipation at gathering in the Lord's presence.
The arrangement is straightforward and highly effective for a processional. The chorus gives the whole choir a unified, rhythmic declaration to sing together. Then, the verses create a lovely call-and-response dynamic, alternating between the bass section and the sopranos as they sing through the psalmist's vision of Jerusalem.
Because of its marching tempo and uplifting text, this piece is a perfect choice for an Entrance hymn, especially on festive Sundays. It gets the feet moving and lifts the spirit, reminding everyone in the pews exactly why they have come together to worship.
