Jesus Took The Bread

Jesus took the bread, broke it and said: “Take eat, my body broken”.
After giving thanks he took the cup: “Take drink, for you I shed my blood
that you may be freed to follow me.
So take eat and drink; remember me”.

Having sung a psalm they went together to the Mount of Olives.
Peter, James and John were close to him, he looked to them for comfort;
but they gave him none. He prayed all alone.
He was strengthened when the soldiers came.

Lord you know their plans, they tie your hands; you do not lift a finger.
God’s will must be done, they think they’ve won; but Master you are victor.
You laid down your life, took it up again;
now all power is yours on earth, in heaven.
