This Is My Body, This Is My Blood

This hymn draws from the powerful words of Jesus during the Last Supper, as recorded in 1 Corinthians 11:24-25. The song reflects the institution of the Eucharist and the establishment of the New Covenant through Christ's body and blood. With a focus on the sacrificial love of Jesus, the hymn invites the faithful to remember and partake in this sacred mystery.

The verses highlight the breaking of the bread and the sharing of the cup, emphasizing the profound gift of Christ's body and blood given for the salvation of all. The chorus proclaims the central themes of the Eucharist, with clear and heartfelt lines: “This is My body, broken for you, This is My blood, My promise made new.” These words offer both clarity and reverence, underscoring the promise of new life and the presence of Christ in the sacrament.

The hymn invites the congregation to reflect on the love and sacrifice of Jesus, renewing their commitment to His covenant with each Communion. Its melody and structure are designed to foster a deep sense of devotion, perfect for the celebration of the Eucharist.
