Christmas Communion Song

[Verse 1]
Lay the gift into our hands
God-with-us here in our world
Bread and wine, God-become-man
We receive Your mercy, Lord

[Refrain]
Even the hands that we're holding You with
Even the eyes that behold
All that we have and we hold is Your gift
All that we're made of is Yours
Give us the body and give us the blood
Give us the heartbeat and breath
Give us, Love, Yourself

[Verse 2]
Nothing here won by our hands
All is grace, nothing we've earned
Here like poor shepherds we stand
We receive Your mercy, Lord

[Refrain]
Even the songs that we're praising You with
Even the offerings we bring
All that we make and we do is Your gift
All that we give to our King
You are the body and You are the blood
You are the heartbeat and breath
You are Love, itself

[Verse 3]
Let Your gifts flow through our hands
From Your heart into the world
Reaching out to every land
We receive Your mercy, Lord

[Refrain]
Even the roads that we travel today
Even the gold and the myrrh
Even the smoke rising up as we pray
These are the gifts You confer
Live in our bodies and live in our blood
Live in our heartbeat and breath
Jesus, live in us
