The Body and Blood

Fifty years ago today

She gave her only child away

To live a life easy to regret

Years went by

How time has flown

Her days are mostly spent alone

Daring to remember

Hoping to forget



Chorus:

This is My body broken just for you

For all you've been

And all you've been through

This is My blood

And when you've reached the end

I offer you again the body and blood



He fought a war against his will

Truth be known he's fighting still

He looks for hope

Through narrow blood-shot eyes

He slips into a polished pew

Lingers for an hour or two

Sometimes it feels better

To sit and cry awhile



(Chorus)



Bridge:

One by one we take the common cup

We remember and we lift it up



(Chorus)
