The Lord's Supper

He took the bread
And broke it in two
"This is My body
Broken for you"

He took the wine
And poured it out
"This is My blood
And you can't do without"

He then told his friends
"One of you will betray Me"
Not I, Lord they said
But Judas was lying you see

Soon they finished eating
And Jesus went to pray
" Sit here and wait for me"
Our Lord Christ Jesus says

So off he goes into the garden
And leaves his disciples behind
" Let this cup pass from me"
But his request was declined

When he back from his praying
He found his disciples asleep
"Can't you wait one hour
That means your spirit is weak"

Three times this was repeated
Each time He came, they slept.
They nearly slept through all of it
But there was one except.

Judas came, that traitor
To reveal our Lord that night
The disciples woke, and lo!
Jesus in a terrible plight.

Jesus was carried away
And was crucified by lies
But He had only given us hope
To save our sinful lives

But later on he rose
And went to his place on high
Only to send the Holy Spirit
So he would always be nigh

So know you know the truth:
Jesus died for you and me
There is only one question left.
Will you now believe?
