Remember in the bread and wine
That meal so long ago,
When Jesus said his last farewell
Before he faced his foe.
Remember in the bread and wine
The brokenness of one
Whose dream was shattered by the world
That crushed what he’d begun.
Remember in the bread and wine
He poured out all his life
In service and humility,
Amidst advancing strife.
Remember in the bread and wine
His bold integrity;
He would not compromise himself;
He went to Calvary.
And as we take this bread and wine
Remember Jesus gives
A challenge, now, to be God’s love;
To show that Christ still lives.
