Why the bread, why the wine?

[Continuing the hymn-for-Sundays series]

So, why do you eat a morsel of bread?
and why do you drink the portion of wine?
This rite shows that Jesus has died in my stead:
I eat and I drink for salvation is mine

God’s covenant promise in Jesus’ blood shed,
bread broken proclaiming we’ve life by his death:
together we celebrate, looking ahead
reminding until he returns here to earth.

"Do this in remembrance of me." 1st letter to the Corinthian Church chapter 11 verse 24
Tune: use 10 10 11 11
