Bread and Wine

Here is a song for the communion. Larry wrote most of the lyrics (with a little help from me). I wrote most of the music (with a little help from Larry). In keeping with the subject, I tried to make the midi as reverent as possible. - Elton July 26, 2002

Many thanks to Peter Gringhuis for the vocal recording and accompaniment track. For all of you who requested this... sorry it took so long! - Elton June 13, 2012


Lyrics

(Introduction)

(Verse 1)
We gather now with bread and wine
(We gather now with bread and wine)
You are our Lord, and we are Thine ---.
Remembering Your covenant vow,
(Remembering Your covenant vow)
We gather in Your presence,
We come before You now.

(Chorus)
Your body broken on the tree,
The blood You shed to set us free,
Remembering with bread and wine.
(Remembering with bread and wine)
We never will forget the price
You paid to be our Sacrifice.
We gather now with bread and wine,
Bread and wine.

(Verse 2)
We gather now with wine and bread
(We gather now with wine and bread)
In You, O Lord, our souls are fed ---.
We drink the wine that You have poured;
(We drink the wine that You have poured)
We eat the Bread of Life,
The body of our Lord.

(Repeat Chorus 2 times)
Your body broken on the tree,
The blood You shed to set us free,
Remembering with bread and wine.
(Remembering with bread and wine)
We never will forget the price
You paid to be our Sacrifice.
We gather now with bread and wine,
Bread and wine.
