I’ve got through the rather disappointing section of songs for gathering and sending forth in Spirit & Song Vol 2 and arrived at the Communion songs. Too many of those songs were P&W songs unsuitable for assembly use.
This, however, is a great song for Eucharist by Jaime Cortez. A pleasantly singable 6/8 tune with a refrain in English and Spanish and two verses in each language. It has a lovely counter-melody and the only caveat is whether your church finds bilingual Spanish/English songs enhance participation.
The text is at spiritandsong where the sheet music can be purchased for download. There is also a snippet of the original to listen to there.
I didn’t add the harmony line to my backing.
