Lyrics
The full lyrics are still copyright, so cannot be reproduced here. The words are available on this website. A rough outline is:Chorus:
Take, eat, this is My body, broken for you;
For I am come that you might have life;
Eat of My flesh and live,
Eat of My flesh and live.
1 My blood was shed for many
... You shall be free indeed.
2 Though your sins be as scarlet
... They shall be as wool.
3 For God so loved the world
....Might have everlasting life.
