as we gather around Your table

as we gather around Your table

as we come to be fed

may we know what we are doing

may we know the power

the steps we take

more than eating the bread,

more than drinking of the cup

may we be empty

may we be filled

may we be fed

sharing of the wine,

the cup, the bread

the body and blood

the sacrifice of the risen Christ
