The Lord’s Table - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

We partake
get a foretaste
the feast of heaven
at the Lord’s Table

Bowing before him
at the altar rail
taking the bread the cup
remembering his sacrifice

Hearing the words
his body broken
his blood poured out
murmuring praises to him

As we eat of the supper
he shared here on earth
knowing, perhaps in part,
the power of that moment

Before the cup in the garden
his prayers to be passed by
submitting his will to God
taking the cup to his lips

Before his betrayal
before they ran away
yet he stayed faithful to God
going to the cross

Kneeling at the Lord’s Table
each doing their part
filled with the memory of him
going with Christ in our heart
