I Received - Instrumental Recording

In my first year as a music director I was struggling to find a song for children to sing after receiving Jesus at their First Holy Communion.  As so often happens, if I can’t find exactly what I’m looking for I write something original so that it will be perfectly suited to the purpose for which it is intended.  My qualifications in writing “I Received” were that it be beautiful, appropriate for the liturgy, and so simple that a child would have no problem learning and singing it. 
 
An instructional video with accompanying movements for the children to follow may be found on the JWP Liturgical Music YouTube Channel.
