At the appointed time,
the time when God had ordained
Even the son was predestined
for the steps on the path
So at that appointed time
before the betrayal
the bread and the cup were shared
his words transforming the meal forevermore
the blood, the lamb, the bread
all now of the new covenant
by his sacrifice and saving

words of Reverend Lori Eldredge
