Text:
We Are Fed
As we gather 'round this table,
hungry for more than bread,
we remember the words of Jesus,
and we are fed.
"This is my body given for you,
in remembrance of me."
I offer myself in this bread
that you may come eat and be filled.
I give you the Bread of life
remember me.
I offer myself in this cup
that you may come drink and be filled.
I give you the Word of life
remember me.
