Bread of the World

Bread of the World in mercy broken

Wine of the soul in mercy shed

By whom the words of life were spoken

And by whose death our sins are dead

And by whose death our sins are dead

Look in the heart by sorrow broken

Look on the tears by sinners shed

And by your love to us the token

That by your grace our souls are fed

That by your grace our souls are fed.

From and Old Hymn

1984

Anthony Foster- music

Communion- began to take on a more sacramental identity in this time- being a good Baptist I understood it as an ordinance- but I really began experiencing the grace of Christ thru the Lord's supper in a tangible way- using the little plastic cup filled with grapejuice to look at my hands through its little lens- It seemed as though I could see my self covered by the blood for the first time. To taste the saltiness of the little unleavened ,pasty wafer, I was feasting at a banquet that drove me to my knees- Why oh why do we only ration this to ourselves one in a blue moon?
