Walk With Christ

I did not intend to spend three months finishing Gather 3rd edition, but having got that out of the way, I can get back to some Australian music.

I have been sent two songs by Erwin Cabucos from St Bernadine’s in Queensland. I believe he is the celebrated short story writer.

This is a rousing song for gathering. The sheet music can be purchased here.

I have made a backing track on BIAB to sing along with to help learn it.

This is the day God has made, when we walk with Christ
And celebrate for saving us
By his dying on the cross, and his rising again
He leads us to our loving God.

This is a gath’ring our souls long for
A nourishing feast of new life.
We hear His voice in His Holy Word
Together in the Body of Christ, the Body of Christ.

Many nations and peoples, we worship as one,
We pray for justice and peace.
We are the salt of the earth, we are the light of the world
Let us shine the presence of Christ.

This is a gath’ring our souls long for
A nourishing feast of new life.
We hear His voice in His Holy Word
Together in the Body of Christ, the Body of Christ.

We come with our failings, we carry our pains
‘Round this altar we gather and pray.
We who are weary, take his yoke, learn from Him.
His burden is light, we’ll find rest.

This is a gath’ring our souls long for
A nourishing feast of new life.
We hear His voice in His Holy Word
Together in the Body of Christ, the Body of Christ.
