The way the lilting lyrics and melody are set allows for reflection on Jesus’ death.

This hymn has a killer alto part, but that’s not the only reason I love it. That’s really all I have to say about that one. We are called to live mercy to the world. As Catholics, we are called to serve others with our time, our talents, our treasure. The Servant Song reminds me of the works of mercy. Yet somehow I am stubborn again and again and forget what that looks like. It also hits me hard because I know the freedom that comes from following Him with my whole life. Why? Mostly because when I think about the times that I have been faithful and open to God’s plan in my life, wonderful things have happened. It’s a song that stirs my inner being like none other. It might seem weird to think about God speaking to you through a song, but there is something about this one that tugs my heartstrings every time. To that, I say a resounding “Amen!” The Summons We are all one body, working for the good of the Lord, spreading the Good News, and we need to be united in that mission. One Bread, One BodyĪ reason I enjoy this hymn is that of the unitive vibe it gives. We will not live forever, and this song is a great reminder of what happens when we follow God’s path for our lives. Oftentimes we get into our heads that we are a little bit immortal, and then things go terribly wrong from there. And if it reminds me of death, it’s probably a good thing. I see it as a beautiful reassurance of God taking care of His children. It might be used at funerals, but that does not mean that it has to be solely that. I always tell people that I love this song, to which they reply, “isn’t’ that a funeral song?”. My Most Favorite catholic Hymns On Eagles’ Wings
