This is a BIG Communion song, with a wonderfully rich text and a beautiful, soaring melody. It takes a bit of effort, so it’s probably a bridge too far for a typical Sunday or weekday Mass. It would certainly be well worth considering for more of an ‘occasion’. Especially if that occasion has a very particular focus on the Eucharist like Maundy Thursday or Corpus Christi.
LYRICS
Behold the Lamb who bears our sins away,
Slain for us – and we remember
The promise made that all who come in faith
Find forgiveness at the cross.So we share in this bread of life,
And we drink of His sacrifice
As a sign of our bonds of peace
Around the table of the King.…
