We come to our Loving father notes
Purpose: Welcoming song to a liturgy or prayer service – very appropriate for Easter.
Structure: Simple verse and simple chorus. Can be easily broken into parts.
With only two verses, it is a short entrance anthem, however, the Chorus can be repeated for as long as required. It could turn into a chant and it lends itself to harmonies – create your own!
As with the recorded version with the beautiful voices of Sophie and Chloe Kearney – introduce the song bit by bit – children (or congregation) to sing alleluia chorus – then get them to sing the repeat end line (God our father – Loving Father) and then introduce the verse lines.
In effect – you could have some fun with this one if the group is good enough and break them into 3 parts and have them all learn and concentrate on their particular part. Swap them around and the song is easily learnt across the group.
It should work with congregations over a few weeks singing the song on a regular basis as well. (should?!),….and I love trying.
