Remembrance Hymn - for use in your Remembrance Service on Sunday 11th November
This years Remembrance Service marks exactly 100 year to the day, since the end of the First World War. Although it was supposed to have been "the war that ended all wars", we are all too aware that conflicts still rage in many parts of our fallen world. Services of Remembrance are solemn times for the living to show gratitude to God for those who have laid down their lives trying to bring peace. We hope this song with lyrics by Tim Chester, will reflect not only the solemnity of the moment, but also the Christian hope that points us to Christ, the Prince of Peace who laid down his life in order to one day put a final end to all pain and suffering. This hymn can be used congregationally: We recommend that you send a link to the song a week or two in advance via your church email or e-notice sheet so your congregation can listen to it in advance and be better prepared to sing. Or, as a reflective solo in your service: If you have a music team and a singer then they might play the song as a reflective solo and you could use our power point with just the words as a backdrop (which is actually helpful for those who can’t always hear the words). Or, as a meditation piece: You might choose to download and show the lyric video that we have put together and just show that. However you use this song, we trust that it will be a ministering tool for blessing and encouraging your congregations to reflect and remember with gratitude and with the eternal hope that Christ will one day usher in.

Listen to our new song "See Jesus stripped of majesty" written with Tim Chester, based on Isaiah 53.
This song works well for communion either as a reflective feature song, or as a congregational song. It's particular focus on Christ's sacrifice and our response to that lends itself to any service with a strong emphasis on the cross. A free lead sheet is available in our sheet music tab. You can listen to this live performance of this new song in the video. |
