Subject: Songs of Praise - Bread and Wine

Dear friends,

Larry Holder recently noted that we had never written a communion song
together, and sent me some lyrics as a starting point.   It took some
effort but I finally came up with appropriate music. It is reverent,
but has a good strong chorus that people can enjoy singing. So, our
newest song, "Bread and Wine" was born. Please see this address for the
song page...

In other news, Heleen de Kort sent 2 more Dutch translations. These are
for Larry's Christmas song "More Than A Child", and Lynn Cooper's "Ten
Thousand Angels"...

Here are the lyrics for "Bread and Wine"...
====================================
"Bread and Wine"
Copyright © 2002 by Larry Holder and Elton Smith

(Verse 1)
We gather now with bread and wine
(We gather now with bread and wine)
You are our Lord, and we are Thine ---.
Remembering Your covenant vow,
(Remembering Your covenant vow)
We gather in Your presence,
We come before You now.

(Chorus)
Your body broken on the tree,
The blood You shed to set us free,
Remembering with bread and wine.
(Remembering with bread and wine)
We never will forget the price
You paid to be our Sacrifice
We gather now with bread and wine,
Bread and wine.

(Verse 2)
We gather now with wine and bread
(We gather now with wine and bread)
In You, O Lord, our souls are fed ---.
We drink the wine that You have poured;
(We drink the wine that You have poured)
We eat the Bread of Life,
The body of our Lord.

(Repeat Chorus 2 times)

====================================

Peace in Christ,
Elton Smith
