MY SUFFERING JESUS

"My Suffering Jesus" is a deeply moving Lenten piece by Jude Nnam that brings the choir and congregation face-to-face with the Passion. From the very first notes, the melody carries a heavy, sorrowful weight, perfectly matching the text's reflection on Christ's crucifixion. It is the kind of choral work that completely quiets a church, making it an ideal choice for Good Friday veneration, the Stations of the Cross, or any solemn moment of reflection during Holy Week.

The verses walk us through the painful steps of the Passion, moving from the mocking and scourging by the soldiers to the heartbreaking image of Mother Mary watching her Son endure the cross. As we sing through the parts, the harmony swells with a sense of grief and deep devotion, especially in the refrain where we directly address Christ, acknowledging His sacrifice for us. It is a sobering, powerful reminder of Calvary, giving the choir a chance to lead the parish in true, reflective worship.
