To the twelve gathered ‘round the table for the night Jesus said my time is near
But before I go this sacrament I’ll leave with you to remember me
Then He took the bread and He gave it to John And He told them one by one
This is my body given for you take and eat it to remember me
To the twelve He gave a cup of wine and He said to one and all
This is my blood I shed for you take and drink it to remember me
Ch
The time is near when I must go and leave you on your own
I’m telling you these things so you will know
The love of God is with you through this your darkest hour
And now that time is near (has come)
When I speak these words you do not understand the words I say to you
Con fusion reigns I say again do as I tell you to remember me
Though your heart feels the sorrow of the time at hand let me fill your life with love again
You will do what I ask of you forever to remember me
Though I go to the Father yet I stay behind rejoice that I am gone
For when I do you’ll know Him too our Father and remember me
