Bread of Life and Cup of Blessing

Bread of life and cup of blessing, gift of Christ the Lord!
Be the body you receive now, broken for the world.

This is why I came: that you might have life, and have it to the full.


Bread of life and cup of blessing, gift of Christ the Lord!
Be the body you receive now, broken for the world.

You did not choose me; rather, I chose you to go forth and bear fruit.


Bread of life and cup of blessing, gift of Christ the Lord!
Be the body you receive now, broken for the world.

Live on in my love; all who live in me will bear abundant fruit.


Bread of life and cup of blessing, gift of Christ the Lord!
Be the body you receive now, broken for the world.

Do not be afraid; I am with you now and till the end of time.


Bread of life and cup of blessing, gift of Christ the Lord!
Be the body you receive now, broken for the world.

I have told you this, that my joy be yours and your joy be complete.


Bread of life and cup of blessing, gift of Christ the Lord!
Be the body you receive now, broken for the world.

Do you understand? I, who am your Lord, have knelt and washed your feet.


Bread of life and cup of blessing, gift of Christ the Lord!
Be the body you receive now, broken for the world.

Do you understand? Just as I have done, so also you must do.
