At our church a few months ago, we were invited to reflect on the different names and titles we use for Jesus within our Christian community. Over the following few weeks my reflections evolved into a chant set to original music (the sheet music is available here) . The text is influenced by a number of sources, including the Agnus Dei, John 6:32-35, Romans 4:25, Matthew 9 and 1 Corinthians 12-13:

Jesus Christ, Lamb of God and Bread of Life

Response:

Jesus Christ, Lamb of God and Bread of Life;

Risen Lord, you are Saviour of the World.

Jesus Christ, Lamb of God and Bread of Life;

Risen Lord, you are Saviour of the World.

1. Bread of Heaven, nourishing the hungry,

Bread of Life, You gave Your Life to save us.

Response

2.Lord of mercy, granting us forgiveness;

Make us whole, restore us, gentle healer.

Response

3.  Source of hope, You gather us together;

Make us one, Your body in the Spirit.

Response
