PRAYER OF THE FAITHFUL

"Prayer of the Faithful" provides a deeply reverent setting for the intercessions during Mass. Composed by M.C. Ezekwem Solid, this sheet offers two short, distinct responses—"You Are My Only God" and "As We Call On You O Lord"—that allow the congregation and choir to lift their petitions to God with a unified voice.

During the Universal Prayer, the church pauses to pray for the needs of the world, the local community, and the sick. Singing the response elevates this moment, turning a simple spoken reply into a heartfelt plea. The lyrics, "I have no other God, Saviour answer me," carry a sense of absolute trust and surrender, making these short refrains a moving addition to Sunday liturgy.
