In this bread I see, the hope of life
Which has been given to me, by God’s own son
And through his life and death
And his story here on earth
We join together as one with our saving Lord Jesus Christ
Vs 2
In this wine I see, the spring of love
Which is flowing to me through God’s own son
And through this blessing cup
Which he, himself did raise
We join together as one with our saving Lord Jesus Christ
Vs 3
And as we come to this table we find
That Jesus is there within our hearts
With love to share
Vs 4
In this bread and wine which is blessed in his name
This is the new covenant, sealed by God’s own son
And if our heavenly father we love
And love our neighbour here on earth
Then we will join together with our saving Lord, Jesus Christ
Then we will join together with our saving Lord, Jesus Christ

Joined Together notes
This was written specifically as a Communion Hymn. It was written at that time for Ben’s (my son) First Communion Day – Mother’s Day 1989. It was an effort to inform him of the special significance I saw in the event and the special closeness to Jesus that it brings. I have used it on a number of occasions at the offertory and Communion times in the Eucharist.
