This is My Body,Broken For You

This is my body, broken for you,Bringing you wholeness, making you free.Take it and eat it.And as you do, do it in love for Me.

This is my blood poured out for you,Bringing forgiveness, making you free.Take it and drink it,And as you do, do it in love for Me.

Back to my Father soon I shall goDo not forget me, then you will seeI am still with you, and you will knowyou’re very close to me.

Filled with my Spirit, how you will growYou are my branches, I am the treeIf you are faithful, others will knowyou are alive in me.

Love one another, I have loved youand I have shown you how to be freeserve one another, and when you dodo it in love for me.

Alleluia! Alleluia!Raise the Gospel over the Earth!Alleluia! Alleluia!Peace and justice bringing to birth!

Blessed, those whose hearts are gentle,Blessed, those whose spirits are strong.Blessed, those who choose to bring forthright where there is wrong!

Blessed, those who work for justice,Blessed, those who answer the call.Blessed, those who dare to dream oflasting peace for all!

Tremble, you who build up bridges,Tremble, you with opulent eyes.Tremble, when you meet the poor andsee Christ in their eyes!

Tremble, you who thirst for power,Tremble, you who live for acclaim!Tremble, when you find no comfortin your wealth and fame!

Love Divine, all love excelling,Joy of heav’n, to earth come down;Fix in us Thy humble dwelling,All Thy faithful mercies crown.

Jesus, Thou art all compassion;Pure, unbounded love Thou art;Visit us with Thy salvation,Enter every trembling heart.

Come, Almighty, to deliver,Let us all Thy life receive;May Thy presence e’er be with us,Never more Thy temples leave.

Thee we would be always blessing,Serve Thee as Thou wouldst approve,Pray, and praise Thee without ceasing,Glory in Thy perfect love.

Finish, then, Thy new creation;Pure and spotless let us be;Let us see Thy great salvationPerfectly restored in Thee;

Changed from glory into gloryTill with Thee we take our place,Till we cast our crowns before Thee,Lost in wonder, love and praise.
