Jesus, Son of The Father Hanging on a Roman Cross Pierced for the iniquity of men Killed for the love of His bride With nails in His hands Swords in His sides Thorns on His head His body slain The body to feed His bride His blood poured The blood to quench the Church
"This is my body" To eat of it To feed the bride. The Body of Christ, The Bread of Heaven To delight in the Holy Eucharist, The spiritual feast, in Communion with God To worship the Holy Name of the Savior
"This is my blood" To drink of it To quench the bride. The Blood of Christ, The Cup of Salvation To delight in the Holy Eucharist The spiritual feast, in Communion with God To worship the Holy Name of the Savior
Hanging on the Roman Cross God, The Son Himself crying to the Father "Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachtani?" "My God, My God, why have You forsaken me?" Plagued by the false view of the Father The pagan god in the hearts of men Inherited with the humanity of The Son While the sin of man Hangs with the Son of Man
The earth shaking And hearts breaking With eyes crying And law tearing With the world changing And The Son dying
The trueness, The oneness Of the Father United with The Son and Spirit In communion with The Spirit and Son
The Gifts of God For the People of God To partake in whenever together In Remembrance of the savior Christ died for us Feed on Him with our hearts And remember our union in Him With Faith and Thanksgiving
We are saved by the triune God of grace By the Love of the triune God of love By the Blessing of God Almighty The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit Be upon us and remain forever Let us keep the feast! Allelujah!
