Song Lyrics

"Jesus, In Our Hands"

by Joe Wise
Album: Watch with Me

Refrain:
Jesus, in our hands we adore you
Jesus, in our flesh we touch your body, sacred grown
Jesus, in this bread we learn to bake our lives as one
Fill up your body
Show us the love we've known
Show us the love we've known

We have tried to break our bodies,
fill our blood, and grow together
We have shared our days and nights as best we could
We have laid our plans and raised our hands in joy for one another
And now we drink the cup to seal our lives upon the wood

[Refrain]

I have tried to understand the way you need me as a lover
I have tried to make me tender to the touch
If my body fails to sacrament the love you died to flower
It's only my own fear to let you love us all so much

[Refrain]

We will take the cup and fill it up and love you into being
We will mix it with your laughter and your pain
We will take the bread and learn to shed the mask we let protect us
And soon we'll flow as liquid and be bonded grain to grain

[Refrain] 2x
