Written with David N. Johnson
Banquet of God, inclusive table, All are invited to dine with the Lord. All here are guests, honored and valued; Come and break bread and drink wine: be restored.
From the Festive Worship collection
The mystery of the Eucharist (Holy Communion, Mass) is only fully perceived when all flesh is seen as embodying both the suffering and the delight of God.
Taste and see how gracious the Christ is, Taste and see the wonder of life; Take the bread, the body of Jesus, Break the bread, the flesh of the world; Taste and see the wonder of life.
From the Boundless Life collection
O golden cup of life, A chalice full of love, The space beyond all strife You form our sacred home, Your ways produce delight, Your life becomes our own.
From the Boundless Life collection
Can bread and wine transform our minds With all their complex modes? Can sharing festive liturgies Unlock empowering codes?
From the Boundless Life collection
O golden doors now open wide Revealing myst'ry's grace, The grace beyond the imaged word; Beyond all time and space.
For deeper love we spread the bread I won’t be full till all are fed Till every soul has home and bed The rest of us can’t move ahead
Here is bread and here is wine, Food and drink we savor with delight; Now upon this altar blessed, Moving us beyond our taste and sight.
For deeper love we spread the bread I won’t be full till all are fed Till every soul has home and bed The rest of us can’t move ahead
The invitation is announced To greatest and to least; For all are welcome; “Come with us; Share this symbolic feast.”
