Lyrics
Chorus:Around the altar we sing and pray with one heart.
Around the altar come.
Around the altar we celebrate our oneness,
Our joy is full in Christ.
1. Take his body, singing, praying all together,
Take the Body of Christ,
Take his body, singing, praying, all together.
Take and eat with joy.
2. Take his blood, singing, praying, all together,
Take the blood of Christ,
Take his blood, singing, praying, all together,
Take and drink with joy.
3. Take your brothers, singing, praying all together,
Take your brothers to Christ.
Take your brothers, singing, praying, all together,
Take them to the Lord.
4. Take your sisters, singing, praying all together,
Take your sisters to Christ.
Take your sisters, singing, praying, all together,
Take them to the Lord.

Does anyone knows if you can find this song somewhere on YouTube or Spotify? Was one of my favorite songs years back during my time in Ghana and have not heard it since.
