We sang all the songs you mention and it is one of the reasons I still like the church. I love all of those songs. I particularly like Sons of God mainly because my mother sang it around the house all the time for some reason and it make me think of her as she is gone. Yes the words were disturbing to a young person but did lead to great conversation. My pastor did have a technical answer for me on the subject as so many of my neighbors where/are catholic. He and now I think it is both/and - symbol and actual in some way. Hope you end up reading this 4 years later :) I am also Lutheran but growing up in the church throught the late 70’s on.

It has a youthful/ innocent melody but the lyrics are grotesque-- even vampiric. I remember singing this song in my Lutheran elementary school choir.

Reminds me of being in 4th grade. So does There is a New Wind Blowin', and They'll know we are Christians. I never thought so deeply about the Eucherist as a transformation of body and blood; but more as a partaking of ownership of a way of life in Jesus. Sort of in the same way that you partake in a higher learning once you are in college; this land was given up so a college could be built on it and you may grow wiser - do this in memory of me. Jesus' "body " was his life, and his blood was the blood required to have covenant. Do this in memory of me, not have a ceremony that you pretend the wine and bread are actually transformed into flesh and blood. That is my take on it. God Bless - and have a great day.

For you have been made a priest and king and Jesus said I will not pray to the father for you, but you pray to the Father yourself, for the Father loves you because youlove me from rreese622@hotmail.com if you want to be free of religion, place the bread and the wine in front of you and ask Jesus to Consecrate it for you to have communion with Him.
