Receive Our Prayer, Lord (P.O.F)

When the time comes for the intercessions during Mass, the choir and congregation need a response that gathers everyone's intentions into one unified voice. "Receive Our Prayer, Lord" serves exactly this purpose. Written as a gentle, moderato chant for the Prayer of the Faithful, it provides a calm and earnest moment of petition.

The lyrics add a warm layer of offering to the usual intercessory response. Instead of simply asking for help, the singers first approach God with love, singing, "Lord we have come to you bearing gifts of love." It is a wonderful, short piece for a choir to weave into the liturgy, keeping the congregation engaged and prayerful as they lift up the needs of the Church and the world.
