MY HIDING PLACE, LORD

"My Hiding Place, Lord" is a comforting and deeply reassuring Responsorial Psalm setting composed by Sir Jude Nnam. Drawing its text from Psalm 32, the song captures the profound relief and joy that comes from divine forgiveness. The refrain is a simple, beautiful declaration of trust, reminding the congregation that God is our ultimate refuge who surrounds us with "cries of deliverance."

In the choir loft, this piece is especially powerful during the Lenten season or at any Mass where the readings focus on repentance, mercy, and reconciliation. The verses walk the singers through the journey of confession—acknowledging sin and hiding no guilt—before culminating in the jubilant third verse, which calls the "upright of heart" to rejoice and exult in the Lord. Its gentle yet uplifting melody makes it a favorite for choirs looking to lead the faithful into a spirit of peaceful gratitude.
