when it was time to raise the cup

Christ had already spoken
of the bread as his body
the ancient words changed
at this Passover Seder
we all looked at one another
not understanding, comprehending,
especially when He has said
one of us would betray Him.

When it was time to raise the cup
to thank the Lord for provision
to speak the ritual words
we all knew so well
Christ spoke of His blood
of a new Covenant with us
God speaking these words
again beyond our comprehension.
