In Remembrance of Him

 

Luke 22:19-20

And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.

“Do this in remembrance of me”.

Just a simple request,

Yet all the world remembers Him

And honors that behest.

We recall, when He walked this earth,

He came to show the way

To those who loved Him faithfully,

And those who’d gone astray.

He came to lift the broken soul

And mend the shattered heart.

He came to give those who gave up,

Hope, and a brand new start.

But more than all of these, He came

To wash the sins of man

And redeem those who call on Him,

In answer to God’s plan.

He walked the road to certain death.

Though He lived a pure life,

He died for a world washed in sin

And filled with hate and strife.

He chose to do what we could not,

And answer for our sin.

He brought the redemption that we

Could never hope to win.

And so, we honor his request,

Because He asked us to.

And we praise Him, who is the path

That leads us home to You.
