about
JESUS OUR BROTHER AND FRIEND
Jesus our brother and Jesus our friend
Living and dying and rising again
Calls us to follow along in his way.
Jesus still with us. Gently within us
Showing us God’s holy way.
God’s holy way - God is love like a Father.
God’s holy way - and our brother’s the Son.
God’s holy way - we are one in the Spirit.
God’s holy way. God’s holy way.
Jesus our brother and Jesus our friend -
You walked the same path each one of us treads.
Your guiding Spirit still guides us today:
Deep in our knowing, soil of our growing
Showing us God’s holy way.
God’s holy way - God is love like a Mother.
God’s holy way - and our brother’s the Son.
God’s holy way - we are one in the Spirit.
God’s holy way . God’s holy way.
Jesus our brother. Jesus our friend
True to the pathway of love till its end.
Nailed to the Cross you still loved and forgave.
Here in our living - healing, forgiving,
Showing us God’s holy way.
God’s holy way - God is love like a Father.
God’s holy way - and our brother’s the Son.
God’s holy way - we are one in the Spirit.
God’s holy way. God’s holy way. God’s holy way.
God’s holy way.

lyrics
'Jesus Our Brother and Friend' is one of twenty-one tracks on my album 'Growing in God', an album that was intended to be a useful, all-age collection of songs and hymns, of interest for religious educators, parish liturgists and musicians, as well as for the general listener. Along with my own voice, this recording features the lovely voices of mother and daughter, Claire and Felicity Parkhill. Instrumental accompaniment is enhanced by the flute of Roma Dix and a string quartet.
released August 25, 2023
