This is the Body of Christ

Chorus:
This is the body (Matthew 26:26)
This is the bread
Of Jesus who rose from the dead
This is the wine
This is the blood (Matthew 26:28)
A partaking of infinite love
This is a foretaste of the feast we will share
At God’s table in
This is the blood
This is the body of Christ
Verse 1:
Is not this cup a participation
in the blood of our Lord? (1 Corinthians 10:16a)
Is not this taste of our salvation
A beautiful reward?
Chorus
Verse 2:
Is not this bread a participation
In the body of our Lord? (1 Corinthians 10:16b)
Is not this taste of our salvation
A beautiful reward?
Chorus
Bridge:
We all are one body
For we all partake of one bread. (1 Corinthians 10:17)
And since we know that Jesus is God,
We can know that our souls will be fed.
God knew that we would
Taste and see that the Lord is good! (Psalm 34:8 ; 1
Peter 2:3)
