Vibes Music Competition Week 33 / Palm Sunday Psalm composed by me and Performed live in Church!

Hey Vibes Community!

A little while back, I had the honor of composing the Responsorial Psalm for Palm Sunday, and I’m so grateful to share that it was performed this year by the St. Philip Parish Choir, Use Offot in Uyo, Nigeria.

This piece came straight from the heart, truly inspired by the Holy Spirit. The lyrics moved me deeply, and that’s what led me to composing it.

During the performance, I played the flute and sang solo on verses 1 and 3, while the rest of the choir beautifully carried the remaining verses and response.

Here are the lyrics to the Psalm:

R. My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?

All who see me deride me;
they curl their lips, they toss their heads:
“He trusted in the Lord, let him save him;
let him release him, for in him he delights.”
R.

For dogs have surrounded me;
a band of the wicked besets me.
They tear holes in my hands and my feet;
I can count every one of my bones.
R.

They divide my clothing among them,
they cast lots for my robe.
But you, O Lord, do not stay afar off;
my strength, make haste to help me!
R.

I will tell of your name to my kin,
and praise you in the midst of the assembly;
“You who fear the Lord, give him praise;
all descendants of Jacob, give him glory;
revere him, all you descendants of Israel.”
R.

Here is the script of the song:

I hope you enjoy it!
