New Communion Song

Yesterday at church we introduced a new communion song. Dan asked me to write a song for the Lord’s Supper a while ago. So I have been sending ideas and demos his way and he has been giving me feedback throughout. Here is where we landed. You can stream or download the mp3 as well as find the chord chart below. I would appreciate any constructive criticism concerning the song.

There You were (chord chart)

Lyrics below…

There You Were

Here we are with the wine and the bread
We remember Your life, we remember Your death
There You were with Your body and blood
Broken and spilt and given for us
So here we are… because there You were

Here we are with our guilt and our shame
That was laid on Your back for You to carry away
There You were for the world to see
The record of our debt has been nailed to the tree
So here we are… because there You were

(Pre-chorus)
We gather at this Holy Table
We have come to meet with You
These tensions that pull within us
You will wash away with truth

(Chorus).
Hallelujah, the Lamb has been slain
He has spoken “It is finished”
He is risen from the grave
No sacrifice can be added to the cross
Final and complete, once and for all
Hallelujah, the Lamb has been slain

The Lord be with you, lift up your hearts
Let us give thanks to the Lord our God
It is right to give Him thanks and praise
Join with those in heaven to sing the glory of His name
So here we are… because there You were

(Bridge)
Christ has died
Christ is risen
Christ will come again

(Repeat Chorus)

May the peace of the Lord be always with us
We can stand before God because of where He was
The grace of Christ and the love of God
Fellowship with the Spirit be with us all
So here we are… because there You were
