Last Supper

On the first day of the feast 
of the eating of unleavened bread
His disciples came to him and said
	Where shall we prepare for you to eat

Go into the city to a certain man
	And saying to him of the masters need
his time is near and on this night	
 	this night in your home he will feast

And that night as the disciples fed
	Jesus blessed and broke the bread
And unto his disciples said
	This my body does represent

Remember always as you do eat
	this my body set aside for you
Remember my words I've said to you
	that once again thou shall dwell with me

And then the Lord did take the cup
	Blessed it and gave unto them
saying this cup does represent
	the blood of my New Testament

for in my blood thou shall be cleaned
	washing away all trace of sin
And once cleaned thou may enter in
	our father's Kingdom and dwell with me

And rising up he took off his robe
	around his waist a towel did wrap
With water and basin he washed the feet
	till unto Peter he did come

And Peters said never shall you
	be the one to wash my feet 
and the Lord did say unto he
	If I do not thou shall have no part of me


Author’s note; I’m not a songwriter but someone wanted me to try to do it and this is my first attempt at writing a theological song
