Maundy Thursday.
The Thursday before Easter.
The day before the crucifixion.
The day that Jesus washed his disciples feet
Even though he knew
His death was at hand.
The day Jesus and his disciples
Ate their Passover meal
In an upper room.
There Jesus instituted Communion,
Ate their Passover meal
In an upper room.
There Jesus instituted Communion,
The Lord's Supper,
Christians practice today.
Christians practice today.
There Judas shared bread with Jesus
Before he left to betray him.
Today many will gather for Communion.
Where believers partake of this sacrament
The Holy Spirit joins them.
Bread and wine,
Flesh and blood.
The Holy Spirit joins them.
Bread and wine,
Flesh and blood.
Remember the man.
Remember the Word made flesh.
Remember God kneeling before each disciple.
Remember God kneeling before each disciple.
Remember Jesus' patience.
Remember his sacrifice.
