Closer Communion



Who eats the bread and drinks the wine

In the right spirit, will surely find

A closer communion with the Lord

Oh, to understand Him better and know Him more!

The very sight of the bread and wine

Will humble the soul and serve to remind

How Christ shed his blood as our faithful friend

Nothing less than Christ’s death could pay for Sin 


As the bread is broken and the wine is  poured 

How glad is the soul for what the sign affords

For our redemption, such a price was paid

We have nothing to fear for the payment was made

As the meal is received We are gratified.

It affects the soul as it’s  sanctified

We’re reminded we are bound to live for Him

Who died for us and forgave our sins


It’s the cup of salvation that  is lifted up

As we eat that bread and drink that cup

Our repentance is deepened , our faith increased

Our holiness strengthened by this Holy Feast

So as we remember the command of the Lord

We will love him better and understand him more

Then in closer communion, we will find 

God is feeding the branches of the Living vine
