What Is This Bread?

by Fred and Jean Baue

Stanza 1
What is this bread?
Christ's body risen from the dead:
This bread we break,
This life we take,
Was crushed to pay for our release.
Oh, taste and see—
The Lord is peace.

Stanza 2
What is this wine?
The blood of Jesus shed for mine;
The cup of grace
Brings His embrace
Of life and love until I sing!
Oh, taste and see—
The Lord is King

Stanza 3
So who am I,
That I should live and He should and He should die
Under the rod.
My God, my God,
Why have You not forsaken me?
Oh, taste and see—
The Lord is free.

Stanza 4
Yet is God here?
Oh, yes! By Word and promise clear.
In mouth and soul
He makes us whole—
Christ, truly present in this meal.
Oh, taste and see—
The Lord is real.

Stanza 5
Is this for me?
I am forgiven and set free!
I do believe
That I receive
His very body and His blood.
Oh, taste and see—
The Lord is good.
