KILLING LOVE

When a choir introduces "Killing Love" during Communion, the congregation is invited into a deeply personal reflection on grace. The title might sound startling at first, but it captures that overwhelming, almost breaking feeling of realizing how much God sacrificed for us. The lyrics speak from the perspective of a soul weighed down by shame, only to be met with the unmerited gift of Christ’s body and blood.

Citadel D.I. sets this profound realization to a melody that feels both sorrowful and deeply comforting. As the verses progress, the choir moves from the darkness of "sorrows comes at night" to the quiet joy of being drawn from sin. It is a wonderful piece for the Lenten season or any Sunday where the readings focus on forgiveness and the Eucharist. Singing this from the choir loft, especially the line "This love is killing me," brings a raw, honest emotion to the Mass that resonates long after the final note.
