Take and eat, this is indeed my flesh

5000 people near Galilee lake ate bread and fish that Jesus have given;
Then on the morrow, Jesus proclaimed:
He was the bread from heaven.

Take and eat, this is indeed my flesh,
Take and drink, this is indeed my blood
What I have done, now you too must do all to remember me.

If you my people eat of this bread
You shall have life that never will end,
This bread my flesh, I give to the world,
Life of its soul I tend. Chorus

Many disciples left Jesus side,
Would not believe the truth they had heard,
But the apostles with Peter’s faith,
Stood by our Lord’s own Word. Chorus

Paul the apostles wrote that the Lord,
Took bread and wine, gave thanks, then he said,
“Take, eat and drink my body and blood
In remembrance of me." Chorus

Jesus, good Lord, we trust in your Word,
And in the Mass we use bread and wine;
Then with your words your body and blood, fill us with life divine. Chorus
