And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood. Luke 22:19-20
Partaking of the Lord’s Table is not only a command given by Christ to the church until He comes, it is likewise a privilege. On an individual basis, we are admonished that if we would draw close to God then He will draw close to us. How much more true, as we gather together as a body of believers to proclaim our Lord’s death until He comes.
On that day when you had borne
Our sins amidst those shouts of scorn
The wrath of God came crashing down upon You.
And yet in anguish bearing pain,
You looked beyond that cross of shame;
For judgment brought forth peace there. Hallelujah!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Bless, Lord Jesus, as we feast
Upon the bread, both great and least,
Remembering all You are and honor due You.
For what we need, You did provide,
The righteousness in which we hide,
Til all we are is like You. Hallelujah!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Your blood now cleanses every stain.
Your Spirit sent, brings every gain
To grow in grace and humbly bow before You.
Receiving all through what You teach,
The words You gave until we reach
That place prepared to see You. Hallelujah!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
On that day we’re glorified
With every nation, tongue, and tribe
Our praise perfected will bring honor through You
Unto the Father of the host,
Empowered by the Holy Ghost,
Eternal for all time then. Hallelujah!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
