                            You are the Bread

You are the bread and you are the wine

      broken and crushed for us.

You are the Spirit filling our hearts

      just as we fill this cup.

 

So pour us out into this world

      as you poured out your blood.

And we will be your broken bread

      feeding the world your love.
