The Wine and Bread
He held within His hands the cup of wine for all to see
The wine that represented life from His divinity
The blood that was His precious Gift to wipe away our sins
And cleanse the precious souls of them who find in Him their Friend
He told them they must drink it to be part and one with Him
That by it He might testify His Spirit born in them
As they would bear His gospel to the world that lay outside
When they could comprehend the Price He paid when once He died
He broke the bread the emblem of what He would soon go through
When He would soon be broken on the cross for me and you
To share with us the message that by faith we'd understand
The beating and the brokenness He'd suffered here for man
And then He said to eat it as a testimony too
That in them what He suffered could effect what they would do
As being His disciples they must share the Bread of Life
With all whom they encountered in their rounds of daily strife
For Christ knew they'd be challenged by the devil and his band
To bring to them confusion that they might not understand
The power of the message He had lived for them to see
The message of the Kingdom that can set the sinner free
The Kingdom of His presence when we lay our fears aside
And let His Holy Spirit be our Counselor and Guide
Through every confrontation that the world will bring to us
Who hold aloft the message of the God in Whom we trust
To be to us the Father like none other we have known
Who gives to us provision that His Gospel might be sown
Through lives of His beloved He's ordained that we should be
That none might here deny Him through His grace in us they see
Because we too have cherished how He bled for us that day
The blood seen in that blessed wine that takes our sins away
And feasted on the brokenness that He for us did face
That we like Him might have the strength to live by Godly grace
And when He comes in glory be what He had hoped to see
Reflections of His Image that we saw on Calvary
Through every time we drank the wine and ate the bread He gave
To us that we'd remember what God paid for us to save
Matthew 26:26-29; Mark 14:22-25; Luke 22:19-20; 1 Corinthians 10:16, 17
