WEDDING (UKA ALUM DI NA NWUNYE) THE BONE OF MY BONE

"The Bone Of My Bone" by Rev. Fr. Okwy Tony Umeh is a tender, straightforward wedding hymn that speaks directly to the heart of the marriage sacrament. Drawing its title from the book of Genesis, the refrain is a joyful declaration of unity and belonging between spouses. When a choir sings this during a Nuptial Mass, it provides a fitting soundtrack to the couple's vows, echoing the profound commitment they are making at the altar.

The verses are short but deeply moving, structured almost like a continuation of the marriage promises. Lines like "I promise to be with you, for ever in life and death" and "Whatever you suffer now, I suffer with you also" ground the celebration in the reality of lifelong devotion. It is a wonderful piece for a choir to prepare for a wedding, offering a gentle, rhythmic melody that allows the sincerity of the words to shine through without overpowering the sacredness of the moment.
