A Eucharist song from Monica Brown that we don’t seemed to have played for a while. Is the tune too subtle, because it is rather gorgeous? If you go here and scroll down to “A Special Collection” you can hear a sample of this song and buy the sheet music.
Verse 1
Before His death Jesus gathered His friends
Longing to share His life with them,
Longing to make them one,
And at the table of God’s love.
He took the bread, He said the blessing,
He broke the bread saying, “Take this and eat.
This is my body given for you”.
Chorus
It is as You have asked, O God,
That we do the same in memory of You,
As You have asked, O God, in memory of You.
Verse 2
Before His death Jesus surrendered Himself,
Pouring out His life for all
Giving hope to a broken world,
And at the table of God’s love,
He took the wine, He said the blessing,
He shared the cup saying, “Take this and drink
This is my lifeblood given for you”.
Chorus
