As the red wine into the cup is poured
Christ the Lamb upon the alter stone.
Christ the sacrifice to atone.
Christ's blood, the wine's a token.
Christ the bread that was broken.
As the grape was crushed to make the wine
so Christ was crushed for those sins of mine.
As the red wine into the cup was poured
so Christ for me His blood outpoured.
Just as the bread was broken that we share
so Christ was broken upon the cross there.
'Father forgive them,’ I hear Him cry
so that I could live He was willing to die.
Greater love than this no one else could show,
and a greater love I could never know.
He gave His life as a sacrifice
My Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
