Lord, today we will know you as we break the bread. This we know is your body, and by it we are fed. We break the bread before us; our souls will be restored. And, with this communion, we thank you, O Lord.
Lord, today we will know you as we drink the wine. This, the blood of forgiveness, this, your grand design. We drink the wine before us; our souls will be restored. And, with this communion, we thank you, O Lord.
With bread and wine before us, our souls will be restored. And, with this communion, we thank you, O Lord. Amen.
