Fred Hammond Communion Song lyrics

Now we are gathered here, this time is sanctified
We drink of the wine and eat the bread
For our iniquities His body was bruised
And for our peace His blood was shed
But we gather not in sorrow

To commemorate

That He died to bring us
Back to the father

What you must realize each time you eat the bread
And drink of this cup, it must be said
That you agree with every word that's in this deed
And that you embrace the master's death
But it's only to remind you

The law has been fulfilled

A new covenant abides
And that veil was broken
We're trapped no longer outside

So eat the bread and drink the wine
And we'll have sweet communion
He gave His life once for all time

So we can have sweet communion

So eat the bread and drink the wine
And we'll have sweet communion
He gave His life once for all time
So we can have sweet communion

For I received from the Lord what I also pass unto you
The Lord Jesus, on the night He was betrayed
Took bread, and when He had given thanks
He broke it and said, "This is my body, which is for you
Do this in remembrance of me"

In the same way after supper He took the cup saying
"This cup is the new covenant in my blood
Do this whenever you drink in remembrance of me
For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup
You proclaim the Lord's death, until He comes"

So eat the bread and drink the wine
And we'll have sweet communion
He gave His life once for all time
So we can have sweet communion
