1. As we stand before the table
Where Christ offers Himself in our midst.
All we are we offer with Him
As He changes our being to His own.
2. In His infinite self-giving
He himself bears the weight of our sins ;
In exchange for such a burden
He bestows his divinity on us.
3. Glory, Father, to the love which
Sent your Son, Jesus Christ, to our world.
By the power of your Spirit,
Make us worthy to share the life He brings.
