Maundy Thursday Poem - Remembrance





















Remembrance

The night in which He was betrayed,
Jesus took unleavened bread,
And blessed the loaf before His friends,
To show a love that never ends.

“This is My Body,” Jesus said,
And handed out some bits of bread
“Broken for you,” He simply taught them,
“So all your sins can be forgotten.”

After supper, He took a cup,
And pouring wine, He filled it up.
“This is My blood, shed for Your sin,
To cancel death and let love win.”

They did not know all that He said,
Would be forever shared and read,
Through all the world, His love displayed,
This night, in which He was betrayed.
