The New Covenant
In an upper room
With closest friends
Of the Passover he partook,
But as he broke the bread
And took the cup
All of history was changed
As he spoke these words:
This is my body, broken for you,
And my blood, which covers all sin.
A new covenant I make with you this night,
A covenant between myself and all men.
A cruel cross,
A crown of thorns,
Isolation from his Father
He endures.
Blood freely flows
From his head, hands, and feet.
Each breath is racked with pain.
The sky grows dark, the earth quakes, HE DIES,
But his words still remain.
This is my body, broken for you,
And my blood, which covers all sin.
A new covenant I make with you this day,
A covenant between myself and all men.
Sunday morning,
An empty tomb,
The promise has been fulfilled!
He lay down his life
For the sins of man,
To pay the penalty of death eternal.
And as he left the grave,
To us he gave
Victory over death and hell.
This is my body, broken for you,
And my blood, which covers all sin.
A new covenant I make with you this day,
A promise of life without end.
