This morning I was reading this post
elevation
at the golden fish
and looking at the photos
of the rising sun when the following song popped into my head.
With Thanksgiving fast approaching in the U.S.
this is a song for the occasion.
Let Us Bread Bread Together is an African-American hymn
that is often sung in the multi-cultural, multi-ethnic church
I sometimes attend in Austin.
The one word that comes to mind for me is serenity
when I sing these words.
1. Let us break bread together on our knees,
let us break bread together on our knees.
When I fall on my knees with my face to the rising sun,
O Lord, have mercy on me.
2. Let us drink wine together on our knees,
let us drink wine together on our knees.
When I fall on my knees with my face to the rising sun,
O Lord, have mercy on me.
3. Let us praise God together on our knees,
let us praise God together on our knees.
When I fall on my knees with my face to the rising sun,
O Lord, have mercy on me.
4. Let us praise God together on our knees,
let us praise God together on our knees.
When I fall on my knees with my face to the rising sun,
O Lord, have mercy if you please.
