At the Appointed Time – v4

At the appointed time,
the time that God had ordained
Even the Son was predestined
for the steps on this path.

So at that appointed time
before the betrayal, Gethsemane,
the bread and the cup were shared
His words transforming
the one meal forever.

The blood, the lamb, this bread
all now of the new covenant
by His sacrifice and saving;
We are given new life.
