Song Introduction - The Bread and Cup of the Lord 

The Bread and Cup of the Lord is a worship song inspired by Luke 22, where Jesus shared the Passover meal with His disciples and established the Lord’s Supper. In that sacred moment, He took the bread, gave thanks, broke it, and gave it to them, saying that it was His body given for them. He also took the cup and declared it to be the new covenant in His blood, poured out for them. This song draws from that holy scene and invites us to remember not only the event itself, but the love, sacrifice, and grace of Christ behind it.

This song is meant to lead hearts back to the cross with gratitude and reverence. The bread and the cup are not empty religious symbols. They are reminders of the living love of Jesus — His body given, His blood poured out, His covenant established by grace. Every time we come to the Lord’s Table, we are called to remember Him deeply, not casually or hurriedly, but with worship, humility, and wonder.

The Bread and Cup of the Lord also connects communion to daily Christian living. Remembering Jesus is not only something we do in a church service; it is a way of life. As we receive His grace, we are called to walk in His love, live in forgiveness, pursue peace, and reflect His mercy in the world around us. This song is suitable for communion services, Sunday worship, Good Friday, Holy Week, personal devotion, and times of quiet reflection before the Lord.

Woo… woo… woo…
Woo… woo… woo…

Verse 1
On the night of Passover,
You sat with those You loved.
You gently took the cup in hand,
And gave thanks from above.
You said this feast would be fulfilled
One day in God’s great kingdom.
That quiet night, those tender words,
Still echo through eternity,
Through eternity.

Verse 2
You took the bread and broke it, Lord,
And gave it to their hands.
You said, “This is My body,
Given for you.”
After the supper came the cup:
“This cup is the new covenant in My blood,
Which is poured out for you,
Poured out for you.”

Pre-Chorus
The bread and cup are not just symbols,
They are mercy placed into our hands.
And every time we come before You,
We remember all You’ve done.

Chorus
Lord, we remember You,
Your body broken there for us.
Lord, we remember You,
Your precious blood poured out in love.
With grateful hearts and holy wonder,
Bring us back before the cross again.
May all my life be spent to follow You,
To walk the way of selfless love.

Verse 3
Here again we come before You,
At Your holy table, Lord.
Not to rush through sacred mercy,
Then walk away unchanged.
Call us softly, wake our hearts up,
From the numbness and the fear.
In the bread and in the cup,
Let us know Your love more deeply here.

Bridge
Your love has drawn us to this table.
Your blood has washed our sins away.
Your covenant will stand forever.
Your grace remains from age to age.
Teach us, Lord, to keep remembering
How You loved us to the end.
Let us live no more for ourselves,
But for the One who gave it all.

Final Chorus
Lord, we remember You,
Your body broken there for us.
Lord, we remember You,
Your precious blood poured out in love.
With grateful hearts and holy wonder,
Bring us back before the cross again.
May all my life be spent to follow You,
To walk the way of selfless love.

Ending
The bread and cup of the Lord,
Gently placed into my hands.
Your love and Your covenant
Surround my heart again.
Waiting for Your return,
I will never forget.

Heavenly Father, we come before You with thankful hearts. Thank You for the bread and the cup, for this holy reminder of Jesus’ body given for us and His blood poured out for us. Thank You that Your love is not distant or cold, but personal, sacrificial, and full of mercy. As we remember the cross, draw our hearts near again. Wash away anything that has made us careless, distracted, or numb, and help us never treat Your grace as something small.

Lord, teach us to truly remember You. When we come to Your table, let it never be only a habit or an outward act, but a real turning of our hearts back to Jesus. Fill us with gratitude, reverence, and love. Let the truth of the new covenant sink deeply into us, so that we not only sing about Your sacrifice, but live in the light of it. Shape us into people who forgive, who pursue peace, who show kindness, and who reflect the love we have received from You.

As we leave this moment of worship, help us carry the meaning of the bread and the cup into our daily lives. Keep our eyes fixed on Christ, our hearts awake to His presence, and our spirits ready for His return. May we follow You faithfully, love You deeply, and never forget what You have done for us. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
