A Divine Encounter: John Stratton’s ‘The Body and the Blood’
Worship leader and songwriter John Stratton has released a powerful new single, “The Body and the Blood,” a song that invites listeners to encounter Jesus through communion. Co-written with Josh Miller and Ryan Hall, this worship moment captures the deep spiritual hunger and transformation that takes place in His presence. The song’s inspiration came from a profoundly moving moment at home, where Stratton’s young daughter asked for “more of the body and the blood of Jesus.” This childlike desire for more of Jesus became the seed for a song that gives language to believers longing for deeper connection during communion.
“The Body and the Blood” weaves Scripture-rich language with heartfelt worship, making it a powerful addition for personal devotion or church gatherings. The track highlights the transformative nature of communion, not as ritual, but as relationship—an intimate moment where believers receive grace, healing, and renewal through the sacrifice of Christ. Stratton’s song is a reflection of his passion to write music that helps people encounter the Holy Spirit. With its powerful lyrics and melody, “The Body and the Blood” is sure to resonate with believers seeking a deeper connection with Jesus.
