We break bread

We break bread

We break bread and in the breaking see

a broken body for you, 

for me.

Crumbs dislodged and falling free

like sins you no longer see in me.

We share wine and in the sharing know

You’ve prepared a place for us to go

where pain and hurt and sorrow flow

purged away heaven’s glow.      

So touch our lips with that kiss of life

coming from Christ’s righteousness

and touch our lives with that peacefulness

that comes to restore,

and heal,

and bless.
