Take This Bread

Take This Bread

By Brian Riecke

Take this bread and eat, it is my body.

Take this cup and drink, it is my blood.

It is shed for you that sins may be forgiven

And to help you find the Kingdom of God.

How should I feel when I receive Your body?

How should I feel when I drink Your blood?

Your goodness seems to fill me to the depths of my soul,

And I feel the need to go and live Your Word!

Take this bread and eat, it is my body.

Take this cup and drink, it is my blood.

It is shed for you that sins may be forgiven

And to help you find the Kingdom of God.

How shall I live Your Word when I'm away from here, (Your house)?

When evil and temptation's all around?

"Live as I have taught you, serve your neighbors, love your foes,

"The riches in your soul will soon abound."

Take this bread and eat, it is my body.

Take this cup and drink, it is my blood.

It is shed for you that sins may be forgiven

And to help you find the Kingdom of God.
