Author: Shirley Erena Murray Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 9:6-9 First Line: When at this table I receive a blessing Lyrics: 1 When at this table I receive a blessing,
the broken bread, the wine of life for me,
then let me share the peace with you, my neighbor,
and let the Spirit set our spirits free.
2 If at this table I have need of healing,
unbidden grief, relationship gone wrong,
then let me know the hands of God enfolding,
and let lament become believing song.
3 If at this table I forget the hungry,
the dispossessed and warfare’s spreading stain,
then let this bread become the bread of judgment,
this wine the sharp awareness of that pain.
4 If at this table I make dedication
to give my life in serving what is good,
then let my center be where God invites me,
and show the words of Jesus understood.
5 What faith I have, I bring to join this table,
what hope I hold, in Christ is taught and true;
with brothers, sisters, I will share the blessing,
the feast where God is making all things new. Topics: Dedication; Eucharist; Lord's Supper; Communion Used With Tune: FEASTDAY
