Fred Hammond - Communion Song lyrics

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 (aah)

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 its only to remind you

The law has been fulfilled (aah)

A new covenant abides

And the veil is broken

We're trapped no longer inside

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

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

For I received from the Lord

What I also pass 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
