My Prayer For You

Jude Nnam's "My Prayer For You" is a warm and heartfelt wedding song, written as a direct blessing over a newly married couple. The lyrics read like a gentle intercession from the choir loft, asking God to grant the couple peace, harmony, and the joy of seeing their children's children. It is a piece that feels deeply personal, originally dedicated to a specific couple—Juddy and Janny—whose names are woven right into the end of the refrain and every verse.

Choirs often sing this during the signing of the marriage register or as a special dedication piece at a wedding Mass. The words remind the couple to keep Christ as the head of their home and to keep their doors open to the helpless and needy. It is a beautiful example of how Nigerian Catholic composers write music that speaks directly to the milestones of family life, turning the community's good wishes into a sung prayer.
