the gift we receive


the gift we receive
when we come to the table
acknowledging the sacrifice,
the obedience of Christ

the gift we receive
when we come to the table
an affirmation of faith,
of what we believe

the gift we receive
when we come to the table
the sacrifice, the forgiveness,
Christ’s power over death

the gift we receive
when we come to the table
forgiveness, mercy,
life and life again
