Let it be - Jesus is the answer

The musical theme of our celebration for the 22nd Sunday of the year was embodied in music by two of choirboy's favorite musicians. Our opening hymn, Meekness and Majesty by Graham Kendrick recognises the dichotomy of God the Creator and Jesus the man - humble and yet worthy of praise as supreme being. Choirboy has long been a fan of the Beatles and of Paul McCartney whom he sees as the master of melody. Our second piece of music at Communion used McCartney's Let it Be as a template for the message that Jesus is the answer. To what ? Well to absolutely everything - his message has the solution to all of life's questions. How is this so ? This brings us neatly back to the opening hymn which shows that through the humility of Christ we can learn the answers to the questions that life poses for us all. Easier said than done, however, which is why our journey of faith is sometimes long and hard...

Communion Bless the Lord my soul
Let it be

Recessional Mine eyes have seen the glory

Let it be
When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
And in my hour of darkness, She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Jesus is the answer, let it be

And when the broken hearted people living in the world can see
That there must be an answer, let it be
But though they may be parted, there is still a chance that they will see
Jesus is the answer, let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Jesus is the answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Jesus is the answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Jesus is the answer, let it be

And when the night is cloudy, there is still alight that shines on me
Shine on ‘till tomorrow, let it be
I wake up in this world of sorrow, Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Jesus is the answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Jesus is the answer, let it be
Jesus is the answer, Jesus is the answer, Jesus is the answer - Let it be
