Brokenness (Vol 1 No 98)
Remember, when we come to eat this bread,
Remember, when we come to drink this wine,
His brokenness, his life poured out in dread;
And yet he did express, for us, the sign
That points to God, and all that we can be;
Remember him who died so tragically.
The broken bread reminds us of the cost
In serving others to the bitter end;
The wine poured out reminds us that he lost
His life in love for those who had no friend.
‘Rebellious’ was the judgement that they gave,
And so they sent him to his awful grave.
And so we eat the bread of brokenness;
In doing so we’re called to be the same;
And as we drink the wine of wretchedness
We face the cost of life lived in his name;
The bread and wine are challenges to be
A source of love and strong integrity.
Tune Holliingside AHB 139(ii) TiS 211(ii)
