In the communion,
the sharing in the chapel
giving our confession to God,
our sin revealed, out loud
confessing to God
and, in so doing,
feeling real forgiveness
of God and ourselves
The magnitude of the gift
the shedding of His blood,
the breaking of His body
revealed again
Gaining joy in the sharing,
in the humble sharing
the bread and the wine
gaining joy in our salvation
our thanks
before God
