BODY-BLOOD (1 Corinthians 10:16)

1 Corinthians 10:16

Is not the cup of thanksgiving for which we give thanks a participation in the blood of Christ? And is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ?

IS NOT THE CUP WE SHARE

A MAKING OF US ONE

IS NOT THE BREAD WE SHARE

A MAKING OF US ONE

ONE WITH CHRIST

AS FOOD BECOMES

ONE WITH OUR BODIES

HOW CAN THERE BE DISSENSION

IN THE BODY OF CHRIST

BUT THERE ARE THINGS

WE MUST DO

IN THAT BODY

WHICH WE DO NOT WANT TO DO

THERE ARE THOSE

WE MUST LOVE

IN THAT BODY

WHICH WE ARE UNWILLING TO DO

CAN WE SAY

I ONLY WANT A PERCENTAGE OF CHRIST

IN ME

OR RATHER

I ONLY WANT A PERCENTAGE OF ME

IN CHRIST

I WANT HIM AS A SPECIAL ASSISTANT

BUT NO MORE

I DON’T WANT THE NIGGLING THOUGHT

DO BETTER

FOR WHICH HE IS FAMOUS

I ONLY WANT HIM

WHEN I’VE FOULED MY NEST SO HORRIBLY

I NEED OUTSIDE HELP

IT’S THEN I KNOW

WHAT IT MEANS

TO BE POOR IN SPIRIT

AS THE HARVEST OF THE WHEAT

AND THE WINE ARE CYCLICAL

SO CHRIST COMES CONTINUALLY

SAYING

THIS IS MY BODY

THIS IS MY BLOOD

TAKE AND EAT

AND BE ONE
