Breathing the words of our faith
the liturgy of communion
not merely reading the words
but praying the Great Thanksgiving
The words coming alive
the win and the bread
the sacrifice of our Lord
urgent, real in our head
The suffering of the Lord
his choice to die for me
real in the pray this day
in the family of our faith

“The Great Thanksgiving”,
