Jacob Rudd - The Most Holy Eucharist (Official Lyric Video)

Description

Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist and I wanted to make a song about that important and powerful truth. This song comes from my album "While Earth Remains" (2021).

For this song I originally made the guitar part on electric guitar using a ton of reverb. It was originally meant to be more of an atmospheric instrumental. I had this idea to make an ambient song, inspired by a guy on YouTube whose channel is called Chords of Orion.

I was living in an old church rectory with my family so we had 24/7 access to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. One evening I went over there with my guitar. I was bringing the song to Jesus. It took a while and maybe multiple visits but suddenly the song was no longer going to be an ambient instrumental. It was going to be a song about the Eucharist! I didn’t have any mystical experience but the lyrics did come somewhat naturally and I attribute that to God’s grace.

We have many talented Christian musicians in the world today and many new songs coming out. But not many are about the Eucharist. Most artists are Christian but not Catholic. And for artists that are Catholic, some might not want to be as direct about putting Catholicism into their lyrics because then non-Catholic Christians might be turned off.

It’s hard to explain and I’ve wrestled with these same thoughts. But then I visit Jesus and have so much peace in His presence, and I wonder why wouldn’t I want to sing about the Eucharist. It is so mysterious, powerful, and amazing that God is with us in the Eucharist. My song feebly attempts to capture this amazing truth.
