Body broken for our good

Author: Alan Gaunt (b. 1935) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Self-offering Lyrics: 1 Body broken for our good, and that body's precious blood: we receive them to our shame, who dishonour Jesus' name. Every day more blood is shed; flesh is broken, left for dead. Where earth's children bleed and die, it is Christ we crucify. 2 Yet your love, God, draws us near, though unworthy to be here; we have nothing good to bring, yet you give us everything! Here you give us Christ who died, resurrected, glorified; his humanity, divine, here is ours in bread and wine. 3 In communion with this Lord, faith, hope, love are all restored; here is wealth beyond compare, wealth for all the world to share. He reclaims our every breath: all our life and even death cannot be too great a price, to complete his sacrifice. 4 Time, with energy and health, talent, poverty or wealth: all are yours, Lord, taken up in the sign of bread and cup. Though we may be broken too, and our lives poured out for you, make of us the living sign of your love in bread and wine. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 10:16-17 Used With Tune: ABERYSTWYTH
