In 1984, my twin brother and fellow priest, Rick Lord, recorded a contemporary worship album titled: “Bread for The Wilderness – Wine for The Journey.”

It is collection of worship songs, light rock in style, from that era in the early 1980’s. These songs attempt to capture an awakened joy in Christian faith during the early days of ministry. I was on staff with Rick at Church of the Apostles in Fairfax, Virginia. Rick invited me to be the drummer for the Album. It was a great time to use our musical gifts from our “Rock and Roll” days! We even formed a band called “The Priest Band!!!” 

I mentioned this song in my homily today at Emmanuel Episcopal Church. The lyrics speak to our deepest hungers and longings, finding sufficiency in The Eucharist, in Jesus, who is The Bread of Life.

Brings back wonderful memories of the spiritual renewal moving through the Church in those days. Love Ricks composing, vocals, and guitar work. Hope you enjoy it. You can also listen to the full album on Spotify. Look up artist Rick Lord. Its also available on his website for purchase: http://www.ricklord.org/

With you on The Journey,
