My Body and Blood

Having blessed and broken a loaf of bread
Jesus passed it around as then he said
     “Of my body partake
     and live through the ache
to join with me arisen from the dead.”

Then taking the cup with the fruit of the vine
it too he shared offering this as a sign,
     “It's a covenant new
     my blood poured out for you.
I'll not drink again till with God we will dine.”

Mark 14.22-25
