Renowned worship leader, songwriter, and GRAMMY®-winning artist Michael W. Smith has released his latest single, "Hymn For Communion," now available on all major streaming platforms.

Blending reverence with deeply personal reflection, "Hymn For Communion" reimagines the meaning of the Lord's Supper-presenting communion not merely as a sacred ritual, but as a profound, open invitation into the all-reaching, redemptive love of God.

Smith shared that the heart behind the song is rooted in his own journey of faith, shaped by moments of brokenness and restoration. His prayer is that listeners-especially those who feel they have reached rock bottom-would encounter Jesus in a real and life-changing way through the message of the song.

"This isn't just about communion," Smith said. "It's about an invitation-an invitation into the radical love of God for every person."

Musically, the track reflects Smith's signature worship style, pairing intimate, piano-driven arrangements with lyrics that draw listeners into reflection, surrender, and spiritual renewal. The song continues his decades-long legacy of crafting worship anthems that resonate both personally and corporately across the global Church.

Theologically, "Hymn For Communion" emphasizes a central theme in Smith's recent work: communion as an ongoing experience of grace, presence, and relationship with Christ-not simply remembrance, but participation in divine love here and now.

Lyrics - "Hymn For Communion"

Come to the table
Pull up a chair
The lost and the lonely
Are all welcome there
And all the empty
The weak and afraid
Come on in and be filled in Jesus name

Break the bread and lift the cup
Fill your broken heart with love
For every hungry one
He will always be enough
'Cause heaven's here and now
And God is here with us
Break the bread, lift the cup
The body and the blood

The simple now the sacred
The common now unique
For the lofty and the lowly
The mighty and the meek
The breaking for your healing
The bleeding sets you free
He is waiting now for all who would believe

(Chorus repeats)
