JUST SAY A WORD

"Just Say A Word" is a deeply reflective Communion piece that draws its strength from two of the most profound moments in Scripture. The chorus echoes the humble prayer of the Roman centurion—the very words we repeat at every Mass right before receiving the Eucharist. It is a quiet acknowledgment of our own unworthiness, paired with an absolute trust in Christ's healing power. When the choir sings "Just say one word and I shall be healed," it resonates with every communicant stepping out of their pew to approach the altar.

For a choir director, this piece offers a gentle, prayerful atmosphere that is perfect for the Communion procession. The verses move seamlessly from Christ's Eucharistic promise of eternal life to a heartfelt thanksgiving for His ultimate sacrifice on the cross of Calvary. Singing this during the breaking of bread helps the congregation focus on the immense gift of the sacrament. It guides the whole church into a space of quiet gratitude, reminding us of the heavy price paid for our sins and the deep love that invites us to the Lord's table.
