Jesse Manibusan wrote this song in the Communion songs section of Spirit & Song Vol 2. A song in praise of God can certainly be used for Eucharist, but I’m not sure I’d specifically call this a song for that purpose. Great care would be needed with this one as the text tends to be a bit on the saccharin and sentimental side. I thought it might be a children’s song but the verses suggest not.
The text should be at spiritandsong where the sheet music can be purchased for download but where it says lyrics there are none.
I am providing the lyrics so you can judge if they go do over board.
Refrain
We praise you, God of life, sacred and good.
We thank you, God of hope, faithful and true.
We praise you, God of love, in all we are.
We thank you, God, with all our hearts.
1. In our fear we lose our senses, forgetting all we are.
But you love is unrelenting, healing ev’ry broken heart.
2.When our ignorance confines us, we are consumed by fear.
Your amazing grace unbinds us, giving us the strength to care.
3. When the light of hope is fading, when judgement tears us down.
Help us see in ev’ry person holiness where you are found.
You can listen to the original here, which starts with a child’s voice that raises the sweetness quotient even further.
My backing keeps it simple.
This fine version with just piano and two harmonising male voices just about rescues the song, especially in the a capella last refrain.
