Nov 2012
Sacrament
I humbly pray and come to thee
Again my Lord in memory
Of the gift you've given me
A sacrifice that set all free
The love for your Father up above
Is true as His Spirit like a dove
Descended on you proving the love
Your Father has and you know of
Remembering his sacrifice as each week
We meet and find that which we seek
Recalling the Father's Lamb so meek
A promise in reverence that we speak
This is my body which I break
And allow to die, for your sake
Of which I ask you to partake
Eat it now as a keepsake
Drink this cup my blood it is
For you spilt as payment 'tis
For remission of sin I give you this
So you may enter a state bliss
Do this I ask as you recall
One who gave to you his all
Suffering much, for you I fall
The gates of Hell I will forestall
The Enemy's grasp I take away
From you by the price I pay
My Father's will, I won't delay
And always with you I will stay
His Father's will he did perform
Giving his flesh and blood to form
A covenant to which we conform
Keeping us safe from every storm
Heaven's gates he did unlock
Guiding us in, his precious flock
He is our refuge and our rock
To which our souls we may dock
He takes away the sins of the world
From which, all men, were impereld
And into darkness they were hurled
But the tangle of sin our Lord uncurled
