Eat the bread, ye people of the Lord

1
Eat the bread, ye people of the Lord:
Praise His name, for He has made us one.
Now we come to eat in one accord
As the church which He has made His own.
  Eat the bread and drink the wine, ye saints!
We are one in Him fore’er.
Stand in oneness on the local ground,
  Eat and drink in oneness there!
2
Drink the wine, ye people of the Lord:
We’re the church His precious blood has bought.
We’re redeemed to be in one accord—
This the goal for which He long has sought.
  Eat the bread and drink the wine, ye saints!
We are one in Him fore’er.
Stand in oneness on the local ground,
  Eat and drink in oneness there!
3
Stand as one, ye people of the Lord:
Not as individual grains are we—
We are one, we’re blent in one accord
As a loaf in each locality.
  Eat the bread and drink the wine, ye saints!
We are one in Him fore’er.
Stand in oneness on the local ground,
  Eat and drink in oneness there!
4
We are one as people of the Lord;
We declare that we are really one!
Not just word, but life in one accord
Testify what God in us hath done.
  Eat the bread and drink the wine, ye saints!
We are one in Him fore’er.
Stand in oneness on the local ground,
  Eat and drink in oneness there!
5
Eat the bread, ye people of the Lord:
Praise His name, for He has made us one.
Now we come to eat in one accord
As the church which He has made His own.

The bread and wine at the table meeting are symbols. The reality is Christ the true bread of life. The bread symbolizes Christ the Spirit. Now we eat Him by believing and receiving in His word. Eating Christ, doesn’t that sounds heretical. The pharisees could not take it. You must believe!

Oh if I could just continue to take you in as the bread of life. I don’t want to be so complicated. I just take your word at face value and believe it which is to receive it. The Lord said “take eat this is my body”. By this we have Christ as our very life! It is by this faith we are made one. We must care for this oneness above all else. The Apostle Peter calls it like precious faith. It is.
