Changing the Ancient Words

All of their history
following the ancient ritual
the words of the deliverance
of God and Egypt
of their escape in the night
wandering in the desert
until they came to the promised land

All of this changing
hundreds of years later
in the words Christ uttered
in the upper room that night

The bread of his body
deepening its meaning
the wine his blood
poured out for you and me
all of the stories now, ever after
remembering that meal
in the upper room with the Lord
