JESUS, SON OF GOD

"Jesus, Son of God" is a bright and affirming Communion piece that calls the congregation to profess their faith. Right from the opening refrain, the choir asks a direct, joyful question: "Do you know that Jesus is the son of the living God!" It sets a lively, engaging tone that carries through the entire piece, making it a wonderful choice for the Communion procession when the church is moving and singing together.

The verses walk us through the core of our belief, moving from the written Word to the altar. We sing of Christ coming down from heaven, his sacrifice, and finally, the gift of his body and blood. The fourth verse brings it all into the present moment of the Mass, reminding us that whoever eats and drinks from the cup of Jesus will live forever. The repeated response of "I believe, Yes! Lord I believe" gives the congregation a natural, powerful way to voice their faith as they approach the Eucharist.
