Sacred Supper

The disciples sing this song as part of the last supper in our Easter play. Russell and Steve wrote it before we decided to write the play. Everything came together somewhat miraculously. - Elton, June 1, 1999

(Verse 1)
And He broke the bread of Heaven for the masses
Then He poured the holy wine out to them all
And for all who came and ate
Of the Father's sacred supper
He gave the life that only Heaven had to give

(Chorus)
Sacred supper means to die to who you are
And to leave behind the life that you've designed
To drink His blood, to taste His flesh
To walk with Him in death
Then to live the life that only He can give

(Verse 2)
Yet in brokeness His love found full expression
And when emptied out His cup was then refilled
Now He bids for all to come
And partake His sacred supper
For in His love He's done what none of us could do

(Chorus)
Sacred supper means to die to who you are
And to leave behind the life that you've designed
To drink His blood, to taste His flesh
To walk with Him in death
Then to live the life that only He can give

(Bridge)
So trade your broken heart for bread upon His table
And let Him fill your empty life with His sweet love
Then take up His invitation
And partake of His sacred supper
To gain the life that only death to self can yield

(Sing Chorus twice)
Sacred supper means to die to who you are
And to leave behind the life that you've designed
To drink His blood, to taste His flesh
To walk with Him in death
Then to live the life that only He can give

(Ending)
You will live the life that only He can give.
