Remember Me | Spirit and I

The Story

For many people, communion is a ritual they go through without thinking. The bread and cup come around, we bow our heads, try to feel something, and move on. Or we treat it as a test, worried we are not holy enough to take part. Both miss the point. One turns the meal into a habit, the other into a performance.

On the night He was betrayed, Jesus took bread and a cup during the Passover meal and gave them new meaning. The bread was His body given for us. The cup was the new covenant in His blood. Passover remembered a lamb whose blood marked the doors of God’s people in Egypt. Now Jesus was saying that He is the Lamb, and His death would bring a greater rescue. He asked His followers to do this in remembrance of Him. Remembering in Scripture is not just recalling facts. It is resting your whole life on what God has done. Paul adds that every time we eat and drink, we proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes. So the table is not for people who have it together. It is for sinners who need grace. Come hungry, and let the meal point you back to Jesus.

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The shadows stretch across the wall The lamb is shared within this hall But look beyond the ancient rite A deeper meaning begins tonight I take the bread and break the crust The hands that formed you from the dust Now offer up a life laid down To trade the thorns for every crown. [Chorus] This is My body, broken for you A promise kept, a love made true Take and eat, let grace be free Do this in remembrance of Me! [Verse 2] The cup is poured, the wine is red Recall the words the prophets said No longer just a sign of old Of wooden doors and sheep from fold This is the blood, the covenant new To wash the stains and pull you through From every tribe and every knee Come drink the cup and walk with Me. [Chorus] This is My body, broken for you A promise kept, a love made true Take and eat, let grace be free Do this in remembrance of Me! [Bridge] As often as you break the bread Remember what the Savior said! As often as you drink the wine Remember that your life is Mine! [Outro] Eat and live... Drink and see... In remembrance of Me.
