Fred Hammond, Radical For Christ - Communion Song Lyrics

Now we are gathered here
This time is sanctified
We drink of the rain 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 ah

That he died to bring us
Back to the father

What you must realize
Its time to eat the bread
And drink against of
The bonds was set
That you agree with every word
That's in this eat
And that you embrace the masters hand

But its only to remind you
The law has been fulfilled (ah)
A new covenant abides
And that held is broken
We're trapped no longer inside

So eat the bread
And drink the wine
So we can 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
So we can 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 dad until he comes.
