MY STORY (THANKSGIVING)

"My Story (Thanksgiving)" is a joyful and reflective offering hymn by Jude Nnam, widely sung across Nigerian parishes during the Offertory or special thanksgiving processions. The song opens with a deeply personal recognition of God’s goodness, inviting the singer to look back and remember all the Lord has done. It carries a bright, rhythmic energy that naturally encourages the congregation to sway and dance as they bring their gifts to the altar.

The verses read like a personal testimony, moving from memories of hardship—when "all was lost"—to a profound sense of gratitude for basic blessings like sight, hearing, food, and shelter. By acknowledging that "many cannot see, many cannot hear," the lyrics ground the act of thanksgiving in humility. The refrain then gathers these individual stories into a collective prayer, asking God to receive, transform, and purify the offerings and the people themselves in the "sacrifice divine."
