About THIS IS THE DAY
"This Is The Day" is a bright, jubilant setting of the familiar words from Psalm 118, composed by Daniel Ato Goode. It is a song of pure celebration, calling the congregation to recognize the gift of the present moment and respond with gladness. The melody is energetic and straightforward, making it an immediate favorite for lifting the spirits of everyone in the pews.
Choirs often bring this piece out for Entrance processions or Recessional marches, especially on festive Sundays, Eastertide, or special thanksgiving Masses. The repeating, joyful declarations of "This is the day the Lord has made" build a wonderful momentum. As the voices layer and echo the phrase, it creates a vibrant atmosphere of shared worship, reminding us all to rejoice in the gathering.
