For I received
from the Lord
what I also passed
on to you:
[chorus]
Everyone must
examine themselves
before they eat
of the bread
and drink
from the cup.
For those who eat
and drink
without discerning
the body of Christ
eat and drink
judgment on themselves.
[verse]
The Lord Jesus,
on the night
he was betrayed,
took bread,
and when he had given thanks,
he broke it and said,
“This is my body,
which is for you;
do this
in remembrance of me.”
[chorus]
Everyone must
examine themselves
before they eat
of the bread
and drink
from the cup.
For those who eat
and drink
without discerning
the body of Christ
eat and drink
judgment on themselves.
For whenever
you eat this bread
and drink this cup,
you proclaim
the Lord’s death
until he comes.
[verse]
In the same way,
after supper
he took the cup,
saying,
“This cup
is the new covenant
in my blood;
do this,
whenever you drink it,
in remembrance of me.”
[chorus]
Everyone must
examine themselves
before they eat
of the bread
and drink
from the cup.
For those who eat
and drink
without discerning
the body of Christ
eat and drink
judgment on themselves.
For whenever
you eat this bread
and drink this cup,
you proclaim
the Lord’s death
until he comes.
