This setting of Hebrews 10:5-7 is written in the tradition of African American spirituals. The refrain melody is inspired by "Wade in the Water," though somewhat different. The melody is supported by an SATB choir arrangement in the background. Accompaniment for keyboard and guitar is provided as well. This song may be used throughout the year for Gathering. The text makes it equally appropriate for the Preparation of the gifts, Communion, Post-Communion, Sending forth. It might be used during seasons with readings concerning the body of the Lord. Evoking the feel of traditional spirituals, this communion song features the rich gospel sound that Bob Hurd fans know and love.
