A Priest For Ever (2)

"A Priest For Ever (2)" is a majestic choral setting of Psalm 110, composed by Jude Nnam. The text speaks directly to the eternal nature of the priesthood, drawing on the ancient biblical figure of Melchizedek. In the choir loft, this piece is a beloved choice for ordination Masses, priestly anniversaries, and the first Masses of newly ordained priests, where the congregation gathers to celebrate the sacrament of Holy Orders.

The song opens with a triumphant, declarative refrain that echoes the permanence of the priestly vocation. As the verses unfold, the choir narrates the Lord's revelation and the sacred oath that cannot be changed. Singing this piece brings a profound sense of reverence to the liturgy, reminding both the ministers at the altar and the faithful in the pews of the spiritual weight and enduring grace of the priesthood.
