I had the privilege of writing and playing music for St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church in Portland, Oregon in the 1970s and ’80s.
On October 4th, 2015, Feast of St. Francis, the current “folk group” was joined by musicians and singers from the folk group who had performed at the church’s 100th Anniversary in 1981. The celebration was recorded and the resulting album, Songs of St. Francis, is available for download here.

Lyrics:
Lamb of God, you who take away the sin of the world, have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, take away all our sins, where there is hatred, let us bring your love.
Lamb of God, you who take away the sin of the world, where there is doubt, let us bring faith.
O Lord, grant us peace.
