Song For the Lord's Supper

The cup of blessing now I take
I break the sacred bread
And no more again shall he make
Calvary's journey dread
Or sleep in a tomb for me
He opened that tomb for me

The hug of righteousness I feel
An outcast no more I
I wear love's sovereign seal
And joy for rags of sigh
His holy blood cleanses me
His broken body frees me

The cup of blessing now I take
I break the sacred bread
My soul a dove in praise awake
And in his footsteps tread
Sing glory to my redeemer
My God, my king, my savior

Sing glory to my redeemer
Love clothed him in his pain
For my sins you God did suffer
And grace flowed from your vein
I take the cup, drink by faith
And your coming soon await,

Hi L'nass. This would be a beautiful song to hear! Seemingly simple embellishments giving depth and sobriety to a scene of holiness and grace. Hope all's well with you and yours!! Wishing you the best! Mikki

Outstanding write. Sometimes I worry because my faith only seems strong when I'm facing trials. Vince
