worship trick 26 [series 2] – morph communion prayer

Wt2 this communion prayer was written by theoldbill, inspired by leonard cohen’s poem ‘god is alive’. it’s incredibly simple but that is part of its beauty…

Word becomes flesh

flesh becomes bread

bread becomes body

body becomes word

God is bread

bread is broken

pain becomes wine

wine becomes joy

Wine bursts the wineskins

God bursts the tomb

bread bursts into song

Holy, holy, holy. . . .

    Beautiful indeed, JB. Thanks for shaing it. And I usually don’t like poetry at all. Peace.

    Or maybe we could learn from Saint Rafa who says: ‘You’ve got to keep fighting to the end and keep believing to the end’

    I have read this prayer before and I would like to use it in our worship service. I think it has more to it than this. Can you tell me where I can find the entire prayer?
