Together

As a bit of a change in pace I will continue looking at Australian Catholic music, but this time from Emmanuel Worship. They have been around for twenty years or so and have created a lot of music. Some of it is now out of print, but a lot is available at their website to download for free. I was reminded of them by a correspondent posting that their youth mass had used two of their recent songs, so I will start with those. An early version of Emmanuel visited our church back in the 2000s and I even attended an Ignite conference, although I was already much too old really. We used some of their songs and a mass that they wrote. They made two new masses when the texts changed that are still available to purchase.

“Together” was written by Madeleine Luciani and is from their collection He Is Moving. The chord chart can be downloaded from here.

Despite it’s heavy rock style it is a Eucharistic song of praise. There is a lot of repetition to encourage participation.

I made a backing lacking sheet music beyond the chord chart, so I did the best I could for the notes.

Chorus

Let’s praise the Lord together, we’ll praise the Lord forever.

We’ll sing your praise forever more. x2

1 The bread of heaven, the cup of salvation,

The body and the blood of Christ

who offered His life in bread and wine.

Chorus x2

2 Though we’re not worthy, though we’re not perfect,

An invitation to his banquet is what we receive.

Chorus x2

Bridge

He can do great things , let’s welcome him gathered here together.

He can do great things, let’s welcome Him, gathered here as one.

x4

Chorus x2

Coda

The source and summit.

Holy sacrifice.
