The flesh of that bread – v4

Christ, the Savior,

the descended Messiah,

the Lamb’s blood poured

the flesh of that bread

at the beginning of Lent

the juice in our mouths

readied for ashes

Sharing the feast

Love come down

in dust, to the earth,

to wear that crown

to offer His body

the flesh of that bread

in our mouths, holy
