Hillsong Worship’s “Remembrance” is a song from their album “There Is More.” It’s a contemplative track that reflects on the importance of remembering the sacrifice Jesus made for Christians.
The lyrics walk the listener through the act of taking communion, a Christian ritual that symbolizes Jesus’ body and blood. Singers mention the bread representing his broken body and the cup representing his blood, poured out to forgive sins.
This remembrance isn’t just about the past, though. The song is also about living a life transformed by this sacrifice. The singers commit to following Jesus’ teachings and acknowledge that God’s grace has carried them through life’s challenges. The song ends with a hopeful reminder that God’s not finished working in their lives.

Remembrance Lyrics by Hillsong Worship
VERSE 1:
I take the bread of life
Broken for all my sin
Your body crucified
To make me whole again
VERSE 2:
I will recall the cup
Poured out in sacrifice
To trade this sinners’ end
For Your new covenant
CHORUS:
Hallelujah
I’ll live my life in remembrance
Hallelujah Your promise I won’t forget
VERSE 3:
I’ll walk salvation’s road
With fear and trembling
Your way borne as my own
As Christ is formed in me
CHORUS:
Hallelujah
I’ll live my life in remembrance
Hallelujah
Your promise I won’t forget
POST CHORUS 1:
If ever I should lose my way
If ever I deny Your grace
Remind me of the price You paid
Hallelujah
I’ll live in remembrance
BRIDGE (repeated):
You’ve been so so good to me
You’ve been so so good to me
Oh to think where I would be
If not for You
If not for You
POST CHORUS 2:
As far as heights reach from the depths
As far as east is from the west
So far Your grace has carried me
POST CHORUS 3:
Until I see You face to face
Until at last I’ve won my race
Remind me Youʼre not finished yet
TAG:
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
I’ll live in remembrance
