Taste this Treasure

Oh the Bread and the Fruit of the Vine

Paint a picture of Holy Design

For it's His blood we drink and its His flesh we eat

In so doing the story's complete.

But a picture can never suffice

And a symbol is no sacrifice

In the symbol and sign of the bread and the wine

We're in union with the living Christ.

In our communion-mysterious union

We partake of the feast that was prepared for us.

He becomes our portion, our One Holy Trust.

For the flesh and the blood that was served up that meal

We remember till He is revealed- in us

Taste this treasure as in Him we trust

Taste this treasure, oh come to the feast

Without measure this grace is released

Bread of life and blood that avails

You can find it here at the table and it never fails

So partake of your portion that ever prevails.
