Lyrics
The lyrics are copyright so cannot be reproduced here. But they are currently available on this website (page 53). A rough outline is:1. Lord, gather your people to the table of everlasting life.
Blessed and broken, You've poured out Your body and blood.
Chorus
So beautiful, so wonderful
So beautiful, your sacrifice.
2. Bread from heaven, Cup of everlasting life
In this meal we share, the body of Christ.
Bridge
Nothing else can satisfy
It's for you alone I hunger.
Spirit and life you provide
For your people.
