Kyrie (Latin and Swahili) is a gentle and prayerful song asking God for mercy. The hymn joins Latin and Swahili words to show that God’s love and forgiveness are for everyone. Its soft melody in 6/8 time gives a calm, flowing rhythm that helps people pray with peace and focus. Simple and beautiful, it is best sung during the part of Mass when the congregation asks the Lord for mercy.

This Mass celebrates the living presence of Christ among His people, the Lord who has conquered death and remains with us in every moment of life. It is a joyful reminder that our faith is not in a distant God, but in the Risen Lord who walks with us, strengthens us, and fills our hearts with hope.

Lord, have mercy - Mass ordinary
