I was looking in the back of my Christian Prayer book and saw the hymn “I am the Bread of Life.” Did you know that Martin Luther wrote the lyrics??? I thought that was pretty interesting.
Wow. Who knew? That is one of my favorites. *A Fortress is Our God is good too. * There are a lot of good Protestant hymns out there. But Martin Luther? Wow, talk about irony.
The song, “We Walk by Faith” that is in Gather is a Lutheran hymn with new setting by Marty Haugen. The Lutherans didn’t publish the hymn, but GIA did. Another bit of irony. If I call it anything else, I will have sinned.
