About this Hymn
Written for communion, this hymn for the church family was the center point of our album Awaken the Dawn, which is shaped like a service of worship. The song moves from the preparation. In our church, we have sung it through as a complete hymn, but have also split the sections around the taking of communion.
Lyrics
Verse 1
Behold the Lamb who bears our sins away, slain for us— and we remember the promise made that all who come in faith find forgiveness at the cross. So we share in this bread of life, and we drink of his sacrifice as a sign of our bonds of peace around the table of the King.
Verse 2
The body of our Savior Jesus Christ, torn for you— eat and remember; the wounds that heal, the death that brings us life paid the price to make us one. So we share in this bread of life, and we drink of his sacrifice as a sign of our bonds of love around the table of the King.
Verse 3
The blood that cleanses ev'ry stain of sin, shed for you— drink and remember he drained death's cup that all may enter in to receive the life of God. So we share in this bread of life, and we drink of his sacrifice as a sign of our bonds of grace around the table of the King.
Verse 4
And so with thankfulness and faith we rise to respond and to remember our call to follow in the steps of Christ as his body here on earth. As we share in his suffering, we proclaim Christ will come again! And we'll join in the feast of heav'n around the table of the King.
