Christ’s Table

This is Christ’s table
around which we gather
coming into his presence
coming as we are
entering into communion
sharing his bread, his cup
as they did around that table
that night in the upper room
unsure as they were
the mystery of his act
the power of his offering
that which he was about to do
that which he did for them,
for us, for all time
that God would step in
take our place on the cross
that he would die so that we may live
Do you hear his call to you to the table
come forward and eat, drink
in the presence of God
