Lyrics:
Let us break bread together on our knees,
let us break bread together on our knees.
When I fall on my knees with my face to the rising sun,
O Lord, have mercy on me.
Let us drink wine together on our knees,
let us drink wine together on our knees.
When I fall on my knees with my face to the rising sun,
O Lord, have mercy on me.
Let us praise God together on our knees,
let us praise God together on our knees.
When I fall on my knees with my face to the rising sun,
O Lord, have mercy on me.
Let us praise God together on our knees,
let us praise God together on our knees.
When I fall on my knees with my face to the rising sun,
O Lord, have mercy if you please.

I learnt this song at the First Baptist Church of Crown Heights in Brooklyn, NY we sang it as we prepared for first communion. All this back and forth about the song being right or wrong, is stupid, the common denominator is that we heard it, and learned it in Church. Praise God and begin your day people, because this is the day that Lord has made.

@ Emily Hess In our church growing up we always sang it in this slow ,as you described it, sad way and it always had the same effect on me as it did you. It connected me to His presence and I felt the same joy and love He had for me. It brought tears to my eyes many times but they were tears of joy because I knew I was lucky and blessed to have benefited from His grace. I prefer it this slow way but feel nothing but joy when I hear it.

this song reminds of Paul`s exclamation in Romans 7:24 "O wretched man that I am" Lord have mercy on me!

It's through God and his mercy that he shows us in our worst times that we realize that we need him, and we realize that in our despair we can count on him to save us from our sorrows and carry us forward. I think it's perfectly acceptable for this song to be sang in a sad fashion, because it exemplifies the pain and sorrow we feel in our hearts and our prayers to the Lord to help us in our time of need.

I meant that the song for me has been uplifting.... because since I was a child it connected me to His presence and that fills me with love and joy. I am deeply sorry if my comment was taken to mean that someone else, group or individual would not hear it and connect in a different way. Weeping may endure for a night,. but Joy Comes in The Morning. Psalm 30:5 "

It shouldn't really be sung in such a sad way, they singers aren't realizing in this video the opportunity to glorify God through the words and music, truly, truly it is an uplifting song.

Every time when we met for holy communion, I thanked the Lord for the privilege to remember Him as we partook in the breaking of bread and wine. It is a privilege indeed as we also ponder that many in this world could not come together to break bread and wine, to love and remember Him as He commanded us to do so.

Yikes, they sound so sad. This song is a blessing! A call for knowing the truth about our constant companion, sweet spirit.

I will stay shut and seal up my mouth because my mouth has cost me a lot.

i never knew it was a spiritual

@douglasforaste3078 7 лет назад

Malachi 4:2 King James Version "But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall." It's just a song with a metaphor. It was an African-American spiritual long before Catholics and Joan Baez adopted it. You anti-Catholic bigots need to get a grip on reality.

For some reason, this song makes me really sad...

@brendaelliott8639 8 лет назад

This song might have been sung by slaves during a Sunday prayer meeting as a code song to signal the time and place the individual intended to meet others to escape (fall on knees to possibly draw directions in the dirt with a stick and meet before sunrise-before the wake up call for field work, meet east side of the slave quarters-the direction of the rising sun).

Sun worshipping would make a person sad. Sometimes we sing and worship things that are far from God. God have mercy on our souls. This was my 8h Grade graduation song in 1956. We were innocent. We were ignorant. Yeshua is the SON and not the SUN.

@margaretphilbin2583 8 лет назад

+Corduroy66 However, Catholic churches are supposed to face east...this is referencing kneeling for communion while facing east...as it should be all over the world

@Corduroy66 8 лет назад

Why east? Think!

@Corduroy66 8 лет назад

Margaret Philbin Did Yeshua face east?

@Corduroy66 8 лет назад

Margaret Philbin I'm waiting for a Catholic's response. Did Yeshua command us to face east when we pray? You are confused. All Catholics are.

@margaretphilbin2583 8 лет назад

Of course we are!!

@Thelivingwordthesword 12 лет назад

People have a lot of nerve first they are ungrateful for the breath in their lungs the that light that gives them life, I had those elites who have worked hard to keep me opprresed and down becuase their power is based on what you worship and who you work for they could pull strings on ebay they could make it very difficult for me to work a normal 9 to 5 not for the dollar your god but as a service everything thing i did was in my heart and with heart i did. its sad that thieves came along to

@mrbeanchannel 12 лет назад

It probably sounds sad because of the way these spiritual songs came about - African American people being enslaved.

@ismistdev 5 лет назад

It's sung so blandly for being an African spiritual. Plus, they don't really blend that well. I do like the lyrics, though.

@whlcat 9 лет назад

This song is not appropriate. It speaks of idolatry.."when I fall on my knees with my face to THE RISING SUN". It is not African American but Catholic and opposes Ezekiel 8:15 He then brought me into the inner court of the house of the LORD, and there at the entrance to the temple, between the portico and the altar, were about twenty-five men. With their backs toward the temple of the LORD and their faces toward the east, they were bowing down to the sun in the east.

+Karen Griffee It's a African American spiritual. See the history of hymns by Dr. C.Michael Hawn, . But it's commonly sung among protestants and catholics churches. Personally I learnt it at the Adventist church. Regarding the "face to the rising sun" there would be much to say about our christian hymns but it's another history.
