Long ago in an upper room,
Jesus with hands of flesh and blood,
Sat at supper, His last on earth,
Blessed and broke the unleavened bread.
Afterward His loving hands
Passed the communal wine-filled cup,
Instructing his apostles there
To partake and drink it up.
Then later in resurrected form
He appeared in Nephite lands;
In awe the people touched the wounds
In the Saviors outstretched hands.
They wondered at Jesuss miracle
Of providing water and the bread,
Then sang in joy and gratitude
As the multitude was fed.
Today I watched the priests deft hands
Breaking bread upon a tray,
Seeing in my mind our suffering Lord
As His life He freely gave.
Bread and water blessed in His name,
Reminders of hands nailed to a tree,
Emblems blessed became sanctified,
Gifts of love from Deity.
