I was fed at your table today
the bread and wine nourished me
Quelled my heart’s hunger
and stilled my spirit
in three services in your house
Your sacrifice cleanses my sin
reorders my fate, now joined to you
in service and salvation
New life as your adopted brother
Thank you, my Lord
for your gift, your grace
Your life for me
and this whole world.
