Not by Bread Alone

The refrain of this setting is based on the Communion antiphon for the first Sunday of Lent. It is easy to learn and sing from memory while processing to receive the Eucharist. With verses rooted in Scripture (Matthew 4:1_x0013_ 11 and Psalm 34:8), this beautiful assembly song deals not only with the theme of God_x0019_ s love for us through Jesus_x0019_ s sacrifice, but also healing, God_x0019_ s Word, and our own longing for God; it would be appropriate to use on Ash Wednesday and throughout Lent. It is scored for SATB choir with piano and guitar accompaniment.
