“BROKEN” from Grace, Church of England

Lift up your hearts ‐ We lift them up to God

We praise you for your unswerving love for us 
Though we are fragile ‐ Though we are wounded ‐ Though we are broken 
You have never stopped loving us
 And you have never forsaken us
 Greater love has no one than this 
That they lay down their life for their friends

You take what is broken and transform it 
Through your death and love 
What once was hurt ‐ What once was friction ‐ What left a mark
No longer stings 
Because grace makes beauty out of ugly things

So we join with the angels singing 
Holy, Holy, Holy ‐ Lord God Almighty 
Heaven and earth are full of your glory 
Hosanna in the highest

In your last meal with your friends 
Before being betrayed
 You shared bread and wine 
We share it again to remember you

Christ’s body is broken 
We are Christ’s body, we are broken 
May Christ’s broken body nourish you in all the right places

Christ’s body is wounded 
We are Christ’s body, we are wounded
 May the blood that flowed from Christ’s wounds 
Heal you in all the right places

Christ has died ‐ Christ is risen ‐ Christ will come again

This is the table of Christ 
A sign that Christ welcomes us all as we are 
There is no need to pretend and no need to hide

So come . . .
