The Fragrance of His Life – v3



Overcome with emotion
Bowing my head, my life
after receiving the bread, the wine
my fingers knitted in solemn prayer
his life intertwined with mine
Lowering my face, to my hands
the fragrance of his life
washing over me
The offering of Christ
that set my spirit free

Overcome with emotion
In that moment, that instant
the bread, the wine,
an aroma of his sacrifice
his life intertwined with mine
Mixing with my tears
falling onto my folded hands
trembling in silent prayer
For the offering of Christ
that set my spirit free.
