Lyrics:

We bring you take, and bless and break,
and all are fed with wine and bread.

The night you were betrayed, good friend and Lord,
you ate with friends, your people’s freedom meal,
and gave them bread, and shared a cup of wine,
to show how you would give yourself for all.

We bring you take, and bless and break,
and all are fed with wine and bread.

Beside the sea, at dawn, you came again,
when all the world declared you dead and gone,
and cooked your friends a meal of bread and fish,
to show your glory, endlessly alive.

We bring you take, and bless and break,
and all are fed with wine and bread.

Now, every time we share the bread and wine,
and all are fed, and no one is despised,
we taste and tell how all the world should be
and sing of fairness, freedom, love and peace.

We bring you take, and bless and break,
and all are fed with wine and bread.

We bring ourselves, and offer all we have.
We bring our caring for our town and land.
We bring our hope that every child be fed.
We taste eternal life, and dwell in love.

We bring you take, and bless and break,
and all are fed with wine and bread.
