Table Song

If a liturgical song can be a hit, then this song by David Haas is a hit song. You can hear an excerpt and buy the music from GIA here. I love the major seventh chords in the verses.

When I play this in on guitar it sounds a bit like the Rainbow Connection and having had that thought can make it hard to sing the first line without, “Why are there so many songs about rainbows…”

This church has a red hot go and you can listen to the descant after the second verse. The pianist may be a little flowery for my taste.

In the unlikely event you aren’t using this song, do so. You will find it is a song that everyone sings, if perhaps not as legato as intended, and internalises as an understanding of the real presence.

The text rolls through this Youtube clip.
