The Body and the Blood Janet Paschal

Fifty years ago today
She gave her only child away
To live a life easy to regret
Years went by, how time has flown
Her days are mostly spent alone
Daring to remember
Hoping to forget

This is My body broken for you
For all you've been
And all you've been through
This is My blood
And when you've reached the end
I offer you again
The body and blood

He fought a war against his will
Truth be known he's fighting still
He looks for hope
Through narrow, bloodshot eyes
He slips into a polished pew
Lingers for an hour or two
Somеtimes it feels better
To sit and cry a whilе

This is My body broken for you
For all you've been
And all you've been through
This is My blood
And when you've reached the end
I offer you again
The body and blood
