FATHER ALL POWERFUL

"FATHER ALL POWERFUL" is a deeply reverent piece by Jude Nnam that draws our minds directly to the altar. The text reflects on the Last Supper and Christ’s ultimate sacrifice, reminding the congregation of the spotless Lamb offered for us. It is a fitting choice for the Liturgy of the Eucharist, especially during the Communion procession when the faithful come forward to be fed at the Lord's table.

When the choir sings the unison verses, there is a quiet, storytelling quality that focuses everyone on the mystery of the Sacrament. The refrain then opens up into a bright, full-voiced declaration of thanks to God. This contrast helps guide the congregation into a spirit of gratitude and awe. It is particularly moving on Holy Thursday or the feast of Corpus Christi, but it serves just as well on any Sunday to anchor the Mass in the memorial of Christ's Passion.
