a sharing in the meal – v2

a sharing in the meal
at the Passover table
sharing the Seder with Jesus
in the upper room.

journeying with the people
from slavery to freedom
freed by the hand of God
into a Promised Land.

a sharing in the meal
but something profoundly different
hundreds of years of tradition
cast to the wind.

Christ changing the words
of the ancient ritual
He would become the Lamb
the elements His body and His blood
