Lifted up by our Savior

Given to him for the masses
meager fare for the people
our bodies, our lives
lifted up by our Savior
Knowing so well
what it means to sacrifice
to give of ourselves
to give ourselves to God
He was the One
who descended from heaven
who would raise himself up
in the upper room
Lifted up by our Savior
our lives for the people
to be broken so they would be fed
at a time of God’s choosing
