Last Fall our church was going through a series on the Ten Commandments. To bring a New Testament connection to the series we decided to make use of the Summary of the Law (Jesus' words about what is the greatest commandment, as recorded in Mark 12 and Matthew 22).
As a liturgical element, however, The Summary of the Law can get a little clunky if its just spoken or read responsively every time (IMHO). So I decided I'd try to set it to music.
The result was a simple, singable worship chorus (a little 80s-Maranatha-sounding if you ask me), which we worked into the services during that series from time-to-time as a different way of incorporating The Summary.
In case this is something you or your church might be interested in, here's a link to a free downloadable PDF of the leadsheet for this song. Click here.
If you give it a try with your church or just sing through it on your own, come back and leave a comment, or send me a tweet (@lukehyder), and let me know what you think!
