Given For You

This is another Michael Mangan song that works for all ages, rather than just kids, and since it is a Eucharist song should be considered – there aren’t enough Eucharist songs. You can hear a sample and buy this in the “Setting Hearts on Fire” collection at Michael’s website here.

Chorus

Oh take, take and eat. Oh take, take and drink.

This is my body, this is my blood.

Oh eat of this bread and drink from this cup.

This I have given for you.

Verse 1

We are called to share this table of new life:

Old and young, weak and strong.

Come and eat, come and drink from the cup of life.

Come and lift your voices, join the song.

Chorus

Verse 2

We are called to share the story of our lives:

Rich and poor, blind and lame.

Sharing together in mystery of life,

As we gather here in Jesus’ name.

Chorus

Verse 3

We are called to share the journey of our lives:

Rich and poor, blind and lame.

Bringing our joys and hurts, our hopes and dreams.

Though one body, we are many parts.

Chorus
