Does anyone know of any good contemporary Christian songs that would be good for Maundy Thursday ?

Question

Help ! I am working on planning worship services and my mind is drawing a blank. I need a good contemporary song for Maundy thursday and Easter morning- one that would be easy for someone to sign too.

Answer 1

Lamb of God...

As OUR Paschal lamb, Jesus was preparing to offer himself on our behalf. This fits quite well with both...

Introduce and sing slower and solemn on Thursday, with a focus on the sacrifice, then TRIUMPHANT on Sunday with a focus on the effect and the resurrection. Thursday might even be good to skip the third verse altogether and segue to something focused on crucifixion or death, then Sunday emphasize the third and link it with more about the risen Lord, maybe Dallas Holm's 'Rise Again'. - like verses 1 & 2 of Lamb (Your only son... and Your Gift of Love...) then Rise Again then v. 3 of Lamb.

Answer 2

Sorry. For me, anything "contemporary" would be those Gregorian Chants written after the 8th Century. I'm sure that's not what you are looking for.

This one is appropriate, though:
