KILLING LOVE (for all season)

"Killing Love" is a deeply moving Communion hymn that reflects on the overwhelming and sacrificial nature of Christ’s love. Written in English, the song carries a strong penitential tone, contrasting human frailty with divine mercy. The lyrics speak of bringing shame and sinking into sorrow, only to be rescued by the ultimate gift of Christ's body and blood.

In the choir loft, this piece serves beautifully during the Offertory or Communion, especially during Lent or solemn feast days. The melody is carried in a steady, reflective solfa notation, building to a poignant chorus where the voices intertwine in a gentle call-and-response. As the choir sings "Oh Lord, your love O Lord," it evokes a profound sense of unworthiness met by an even greater grace, reminding the congregation that where there is hate, His love is sown.
