Verse 1 (Girl)

We felt your word burning within us
                       C                                        F
Your word unlocked the hardness of our hearts
                E7         Am                     Em
And opened our eyes that we may see you
Dm                               Bb
Hidden in the broken bread

Chorus:Gsus G7    C                        F          G                         C
      Lord you laid down your life as bread and wine we see
                 C                     F                 D7                       G
      Gave strength to our hearts and made us shine with glee
                    Am            F            G                        C
      When we eat the bread and drink the cup of wine
                   Dm                     G                         F   C
      We believe that Christ in us, is our hope of glory

Verse 2 (Boy)
            C                   F
You brought a ray of light
                 C                F
And you rekindled our hope
        E7        Am                            Em
And led our hearts to yearn for your love
Dm         F            Gsus     G7
For in you is our hope of glory

C                    F     Em                   Dm G  C
Through your own flesh, now made living
                  F     Em         Dm  G  C
And by the Spirit made life-giving
     Dm     F           Gsus G7
You offered life to us

And as your sweat became like drops of blood

You shed your blood for us... Amen!
