Bill Everman - Body and Blood

A final meal, shared by thirteen friends
But only one among them knows what it portends

They gather 'round a table not fit for a king
Their Master teaches them a new way of remembering

This is my body, this is my blood
A living sacrifice, the death of a loving God

A darkened sky, nails through three men's hands
But only one of them truly comprehends (what will happen that day)
The price is paid, a debt he never owed
The purchase of mankind 2000 years ago

This is my body, this is my blood
A living sacrifice, the death of a loving God

Because his death is on my hands, I need to truly understand
Just like this bread gives life to me, his sacrifice frees me to live eternally
And as the blood could sweep away the power of sin and its decay
The wine reminds me of the joy he's won for me

Another meal, we gather once again
To thank him for the life he's given that never ends

This is my body, this is my blood
A living sacrifice, the death of a loving God
This is my body, this is my blood
A living sacrifice, the love of the living God
