Gospel Feast

What is this fruit that I now eat?
     It looks like bread and wine,
Yet I know it’s God’s Son who greets
     Me in this heart of mine.

I eat His Body, drink His Blood;
     He enters, makes me new,
And I emerge from Satan’s flood,
     In world His truth to view.

Apparent weakness in His death
     Concealed His Father’s strength;
It’s manifest in Spirit’s breath–
     For us goes any length.

He dies to rise and give us life
     Beyond our human grave.
His Blood and Body bring His light
     To His creation save.

For here and now we live again
     And leave our past behind;
We’re free from death caused by our sin
     As new life here we find.

And with new life His wisdom comes
     To greatest and to least;
For wise in Him we all become
     When we eat Gospel Feast.
