TAKE THIS BREAD, BREAK IT UP
Take this wine, fill your cup;
It’s My body, it’s My blood shed for you.
Lamb of God, my heart will thank You:
Prince of peace, my refuge be.
In my weakness, I will praise You,
As healing streams wash over me,
Healing streams wash over me.
Lamb of God, in times of trouble,
I will gladly turn to Thee.
In my pain, O Man of Sorrows,
Healing streams wash over me,
Healing streams wash over me.
