Killing Love / Abba Father

This sheet contains two short, reflective pieces by Citadel O.I. The first, "Killing Love," is a deeply moving meditation on Christ's sacrifice and the Eucharist. The verses walk us through our own human failings—bringing shame and sinking into sorrow—before turning to the profound gift of the Lord's body and blood. The chorus reflects on the overwhelming, almost breaking weight of that divine love. It is a wonderful choice for Communion or during the solemn moments of Lent and Holy Week, where the choir can really lean into the emotional weight of the lyrics.

The second piece, "Abba Father," is a brief, gentle prayer of petition. With its simple, pleading lines, it works beautifully as a prayerful response, perhaps during the Prayer of the Faithful or as a quiet meditation after Communion. Together, these two pieces offer a choir the chance to sing with real vulnerability and grace, guiding the congregation into a space of quiet reverence and gratitude.
