THE GLORY OF THE LORD’S SUPPER
(A Holy Communion Poem)
We have partaken of the Lord’s Supper many times;
Wherein is the Glory? Or have we been terribly blind?
The Glory lies in the very invitation from the Lord;
How blessed to be able to draw near to our God!
The Glory lies in the words that Jesus uttered;
His teachings are so deep. Have they mattered?
Imagine simple bread representing His holy Body;
To partake of the bread is surely to taste Glory.
The Glory lies in the cup that Jesus blesses;
Have we understood? We stand in His righteousness!
How wonderful to be cleansed from deepest sin;
There is Glory to be experienced deep within.
The Glory of the Lord’s Supper lies in our Communion;
Through faith in the Lord Jesus we have true union.
We are reconciled with the Lord and we are fully restored;
There is no wall between us but instead there is one accord.
