Bread forever different – v2

Bread forever different, pungent, rich;
wine forever bitter, while sweet.
Forever changed, but not in this moment;
but forever changed, by the power of these words
Imprinted within them, His sacrifice.
These words of Jesus, to remember,
what He was about to suffer, His path in this life.
They could never eat bread the same way again
they could never drink wine without remembering
these fateful words He spoke.
The upper room echoing, haunting them,
walking changed in this life.
The bread His body, the wine His blood
poured out as a blessing, a sacrifice.
God’s mercy, His prayer for all of us
That we would believe, that we would remember,
that each time we break the bread,
each time the cup is raised
remembering Christ’s sacrifice, God’s love for us.
Going to the cross, holding nothing back,
giving His all, all He was, dying for all of us.
