I loved this simple but elegant folk-style communion “motet” from the moment I heard it with just Ken and his guitar. I arranged it and added choir parts, and we recorded it with Ken for Stainer and Bell, but not very well - it deserved better!

Lyrics (by Ken Okines)

Take the bread,
And think on God,
And think on God;
See what love can do.

Take the cup,
And think on God,
And think on God;
See what love can do.

Body and blood,
Freely given for you.

Give your life,
And think on God,
And think on God;
See what love can do
