On the night he was betrayed
As shadows gathered in
Jesus took the bread gave thanks
On the night he was betrayed
Faithful he remained
Full and perfect love to the end
Pre-Chorus
Take the bread this is his body
Take the wine this is his blood
Chorus 1
Take the bread this is his body
Take the wine this is his blood
God's own life given in place of us
Given to ransom us
Love has welcomed us
Share his life
Verse 2
Sacred signs a table laid
Ancient memories replayed
Deliverance from death and fear
Keep us from the dark of night
O cast out the dark within
Lord we pray forgive our sin
Chorus 2
Take the bread this is his body
Take the wine this is his blood
God’s own life forgiveness and mercy
Freedom from slavery
This is his victory
Share his life
Bridge
This is his covenant
This our remembrance
Until he comes again
We will remember him
Beaten and crucified
Buried then raised to life
Ascended and glorified
Crown him the Lord of life
Communion is a time for reflection. It is a time for deep thankfulness. It is a time for the family of God to share together. These songs lead the church in reflection, thankfulness, and unity.
