Now we are gathered here
This time is sanctified
To drink of the wine and eat the bread
For our iniquities his body was bruised
And for our peace his blood was shed
But we gather not in sorrow but (to commemorate)
That he died to bring us back to the Father
What you must realize
Each time you eat the bread
And drink of this cup
It must be said
That you agree with every word
That's in this deed
And that you embrace the Master's death
But it's only to remind you
(The law has been fulfilled)
A new covenant abides
And the veil is broken
We're trapped no longer inside
So eat the bread (so eat the bread)
And drink the wine (drink the wine)
And we'll have Sweet Communion (Sweet Communion)
So eat the bread (so eat the bread)
And drink the wine (drink the wine)
And we'll have Sweet Communion (we'll have Sweet Communion)
He gave his life
(Once for all time) once for all time
So we can have Sweet Communion
Oh Lord, oh Lord
So eat the bread (thank you God)
And drink the wine
(Sending your son to die)
And we'll have Sweet Communion (thank you father)
(Thank you father)
For I received from the Lord
What I also passed unto you
The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed
Took bread, and when he had given thanks
He broke it and said, "This is my body, which is for you
Do this in remembrance of me"
In the same way after supper he took the cup saying:
"This cup is the new covenant in my blood
Do this, whenever you drink, in remembrance of me
For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup
You proclaim the Lord's death, until he arose"
So eat the bread
And drink the wine
And we'll have Sweet Communion
He gave his life
Once for all time
So we can have Sweet Communion
