New Single from Jonathan Stockstill & Bethany Worship Friday, March 17, 2017 "Communion Song" is the newest release from Jonathan Stockstill and Bethany Worship. Jonathan was inspired to write the song last year while he was preparing a message on the sacrament of Communion. He shares, "One of the most impactful things Christ instructed us in during the Last Supper was to 'do this in remembrance of Me.' There is so much symbolism and power in the way that we view Christ; He gave His own life and paid the ultimate price to give us everlasting life." The song opens up from Jesus' point of view during the Last Supper and goes on to switch viewpoints in the bridge to give voice to worshippers in exalting the Savior and proclaiming His worthiness. Jonathan is joined by worship leaders Nicole Binion and BJ Putnam in this incredible new anthem which features a male/female co-lead and would make a great addition to your Easter setlist. "Communion Song" is now available on iTunes, and we are including a free download of the song with the purchase of the MultiTracks.
