 Receiving Communion - The Lord's Supper

By Frank E. Henrich Sept 20, 2008

                                                  Oh,! Precious Lord's supper, enliven me
                                                       Oh! gift from Jesus my Lord, fill me,
                                                            How am I to measure you, enliven me,
                                                                 A mystery too deep to fathom, fill me.

                                                   I lift up the cup to my lips, enliven me,
                                                     When the bread sets on my tongue, fill me,
                                                          When I surrender my love to you, enliven me,
                                                               Oh,! Mystery of mysteries, fill my being.

                                                     When I view the beautiful old picture above.
                                                           I gain a sense of the great magnitude
                                                             As the monk envisioned it in 1502 AD
                                                                Now 500 years later, it is still powerful.

                                                      But the earthly vision, true as it did happen
                                                           Is out shined by the Giver of the gift.
                                                             Who died a horrible death on the cross
                                                                  So we could be forgiven of our sins.

                                                      Who left us a reminder of this great love
                                                           When He asked us to share in communion,
                                                                Yes, if we live an intimate life with Jesus
                                                                    He lives within us all the time, praise God.

                                                      But still it honors Him to honor His wish
                                                          And partake in this wonderful communion
                                                              Which binds us together, brother and sister
                                                                   Sojourners on the earthly road to paradise.

                                                      Oh! Precious Lord's supper, enliven me
                                                          Oh! gift from Jesus my Lord, fill me,
                                                              How am I to measure you, enliven me,
                                                                   A mystery too deep to fathom, fill me.

                                                      I lift up the cup to my lips, enliven me,
                                                       When the bread sets on my tongue, fill me,
                                                           When I surrender my love to you, enliven me,
                                                                Oh,! Mystery of mysteries, fill my being.

Communion holy, I take this E
urcharist, bread and wine of heaven into me in this eurcharistic service. Oh! blessed Holy Communion like Jesus served at the last supper.
