We Will Remember

We remember as we take this wine and bread

We partake of righteous truths and our souls are fed

At this table where together we have come

We are overwhelmed as we recall all that you've done

We won't forget the darkness where we walked

How you broke the yoke , and our chains unlocked

We remember the glory when we saw your great light

And how on that day you made us right.

As we eat and as we drink our hearts will dine

On the righteous fruit of the living vine

And as of the staff of life we partake

We honor your offer as the bread we break.

We remember for our good and for Your sake.

We will never forget how you were born

And how you became an object of scorn

We recall the dread details of your death

How you bore our sin and breathed your dying breath

We remember how you did as you promised

How by death our gift of life was accomplished

How on the third day you arose though for us you died

And were raised in glory so we could be justified.

As we eat and as we drink our hearts will dine

On the righteous fruit of the living vine

And as of the staff of life we partake

We honor your offer as the bread we break.

We remember for our good and for Your sake.

We will remember your final sacrifice

We realize just what it cost to pay the price

We we will confess and repent and give praise

As we worship here at the table of grace

Here as your people together in union

We're one with Christ in this perfect communion

We examine our hearts here at your table

And proclaim that the Lord who is for us is able

As we eat and as we drink our hearts will dine

On the righteous fruit of the living vine

And as of the staff of life we partake

We honor your offer as the bread we break.

We remember for our good and for Your sake.
