Take, eat, this is my Body...

Jim was a janitor at the local High School
He’d shuffle around quietly a fiddlin’ with his tools
Most everyone thought he was just an old fool
Except the boys who quit the gangs cause Jim came to their rescue
He was like the father those boys never had
Yeah, to them he was just like a dad
Without him they’d a turned out real bad
And if you asked him why he’d look kinda surprised at you
And he’d say “why it’s just what Jesus would do”
Yes, Jim was a simple man in most people’s eyes
“a failure” said those that the world counted wise
ah but if they only knew Jesus, that He comes in disguise
if they could only look through the Holy Spirit’s eyes
then they would be in for quite a surprise
Oh if their empty souls and spirits only knew
The Bread of Life was broken and shared in that school
For Jesus walked those halls in Jim
And He’d point at Jim and say –
“Take, eat, this is My Body, given for you”



John spent his time in the bus station down town
Just to see him come walkin’ in would make the pimps frown
He’d say “hey, Bobby Ray why you lookin’ so down?
I got a bus ticket here says I’m Heaven bound!”
You see, John could spot a runaway as soon as they’d step off the bus
So could the pimps, that’s why it was an absolute must
That John be there to offer them a hand they could trust
Or their only choice then would be a life of prostitution and drugs
John worked for a ministry that took these girls off the street
And if by chance it was Jesus you were wantin’ to meet
He’d introduce you to John and say –
“This is My Body, take and eat”


Sarah was a nurse - it must a been her destiny
Cause she sure was good at it all the doctors and patients agreed
There was somethin’ about Sarah that put your mind at ease
And whenever she was near you’d feel a sense of peace
The doctors noticed most of Sarah’s patients would pull through just fine
What they didn’t know was that she’d spend hours
Praying over each one, one at a time
Sarah spent her life in prayer, for others she really cared
She invited many to come to The Lord’s table and dine
Where you could hear Jesus say with pride
“This Sarah, whose Life is poured out for others,
her body, the bread which you have partaken of
is Mine”
Mat:26:26





When The Lord took the bread in His hands, He broke it, then shared it with
His Disciples. Even so, when we completely surrender to Him, in His hands
We become broken, then, and only from a posture of brokenness, we are
shared with one another. The great gift of our God is the precious saints we
get to commune and fellowship with as we each journey back home.
