Bread and cup set on the table,
Bread and cup set on the table,
Which we all partake as one,

Precious blood has flowed out for us,
Precious blood has flowed out for us,
Sins, transgressions, cleared away;
Righteousness and anger toward us
No more claim on us can lay.
His blood stands before Thee ever;
Better things it does proclaim.
Thus He's silenced the accuser
And released us from self-blame.

Lower than the angels’ measure,
Lower than the angels' measure,

For Thy grace unparalleled.

Abba, Father, we approach Thee,
Led by Thy beloved Son,
Offer up our praise and worship,
Bask in Thy Paternal love.
Thou art on the throne rejoicing,
Thine eternal plan is done—
Through His death and resurrection
We’ve become Thy many sons
Belmopan City, Belize
What is man, O God, before Thee?
Lower than angelic hosts;
Yet Thou seekest to regain us
Lov’st us to the uttermost.
Only man gains Thy forgiveness,
(Not the angels who rebelled)
Praise Thee, Father, Praise unceasing
For Thy grace unparalleled. 💖
Markham, Ontario, Canada
Glory to Jesus who has put away sin. GOD IS HAPPY, GOD IS REJOICING!! Let us offer up the highest worship by joining in with the Father. Rejoicing, rejoice, rejoice and again I say rejoice...
