Communion remembers. Taking the bread and the wine reminds followers of Christ of the great sacrifice Jesus made. It is a time for reflection. It is a time for deep thankfulness. It is a time for the family of God to share together. These songs lead the church in reflection, thankfulness, and unity.
Communion Song - Andy Smith | Matt Britton
This beautifully reflective song focuses upon the price Jesus paid for each one of us. Lyrically poetic, the chorus celebrates the truth of our communion with Jesus because of the cross.
Alleluia He Has Loved Us - Tom McConnell
Fusing a hymnal approach with a lilting rhythmical pace, this is an excellent song of joyful praise for all Jesus completed at the cross. Ideal for all ages and for those churches seeking new contemporary hymns.
Highly popular and regularly sung worldwide, ‘Forever (We Sing Hallelujah)’ is typically used around Easter but perfectly suited throughout the year. With a stirring melody and skilfully crafted narrative, the risen Jesus is truly lifted high.
Man Of Sorrows - Steve Parsons
Consider this intimate singer-songwriter-styled song when looking for a reflective element for people to listen to during a communion service.
Highly focussed upon the events of the Last Supper and the significance of what Jesus was about to do, the chorus is the crowning centrepiece -’Take the bread this is his body, Take the wine this is his blood, God’s own life forgiveness and mercy.’
Remember Me - Graham Kendrick | Mark Tedder
An excellent song ideal for congregations to sing during Communion. The focal point of the chorus is immensely meaningful as together we join with the words of Jesus - ‘This is my body, this is My blood. Take eat together, Remember Me.’
Your Great Love - Colin Webster
‘God’s love is unfathomable,’ says writer Colin Webster, ‘and its depths are greater than our sin and its height towers over us as a vast canopy of grace.’ ‘Your Great Love’, hymnal and contemporary in nature, confidently gives praise to the sacrifice Jesus made on the cross and the mercy we find there.
All Our Hallelujahs - Cath Woolridge | Matt Richley
Charting the events from Jesus dying on the cross to the glory of the resurrection, ‘All Our Hallelujahs’ is an uplifting expression of praise.
Come As You Are - Pete James | Harvey Jessop | Zach Neese
An invitation to receive the mercy of God and run into the arms of Jesus because of the cross. The appeal in this song is for each one of us to know that regardless of who we are and where we are on our journey, there is a place of rest and a fountain of life available in Jesus.
Calvary's Shadow - Ryan Williams
A powerful song from River Valley Worship remembering the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross and the resulting victory. With death defeated and sin and shame overcome by the Saviour’s scars, this song affords us the opportunity to say ‘My Jesus, my life, surrendered to you alone.’
