Nothing Compares (Communion Song)

[Klampert]

Here is the first of many posts of my originals..Keep in mind the lousy recording..It's me and a guitar and a mini-recorder...

This song is a contemplation and focus on Christ song written almost like He is talking to us. I have a vision of this songs having a great string and keys arrangement.

any comments etc...more then welcome.

Here is the MP3 (http://cecworship.wordpress.com/2007/06/21/communion-song/)

Nothing Compares (Communion Song)
Words & Music: copyright 2004 Joel Klampert

Vs1
This is my body broken for you
See my nail scarred hands
Do this in remembrance of Me
This is my body broken for you
See the spear in My side
Oh, do this in remembrance of Me

Take the bread, It’s the bread of life

CH:
You are a child of God
Fearfully and wondrously made
Holy anointed one
You were created in Me
Nothing compares to My love

VS2
This is My blood shed for you
See it in my eyes
Do this in remembrance of Me
This is my blood poured out for You
See it flow from my side
Oh, do this in remembrance of Me

Take the cup, It’s the cup of life

That is a great song Joel. I love the simplicity of it b/c it allows you to take it in and really get the beautiful message it contains. It brings to mind a lot of my songs which are pretty much word for word out of scripture. I could definitely picture this song being played w/ just a guitar during communion. (I just might do that with your permission)
