the world's foundations first were laid,
come visit every humble mind;
come, pour thy joys on human kind;
from sin and sorrow set us free,
and make us temples worthy thee.

Projected Images in Worship: Illustrate or Illuminate?
The Scripture reading is from John 6. So when you hear or read the words "I am the bread of life," your inner soundtrack begins playing. Maybe it's Sister Suzanne Toolan's "I Am the Bread of Life," the 19th century hymn "Break Thou the Bread of Life," the Taize chorus "Eat This Bread," or a repeated Keith Getty line, "so we share in this bread of life."
"What if you had to go to a church that had had no music since the early 1500s? It’s unimaginable. Yet the void you can’t imagine is there—a 500-year lack of visual arts in Protestant churches," artist Sandra Bowden says.
