"Remembrance" lyrics

"Remembrance"

I take the bread of life
Broken for all my sin
Your body crucified
To make me whole again

I will recall the cup
Poured out in sacrifice
To trade this sinner's end
For Your new covenant

Hallelujah
I'll live my life in remembrance
Hallelujah
Your promise I won't forget

I'll walk salvation's road
With fear and trembling
Your way borne as my own
As Christ is formed in me

Hallelujah
I'll live my life in remembrance
Hallelujah
Your promise I won't forget

If ever I should lose my way
If ever I deny Your grace
Remind me of the price You paid
Hallelujah
I'll live in remembrance

You've been so, so good to me
You've been so, so good to me
Oh to think where I would be
If not for You
If not for You

You've been so, so good to me
You've been so, so good to me
Oh to think where I would be
If not for You
If not for You

If not for You
If not for You

As far as heights reach from the depths
As far as east is from the west
So far Your grace has carried me

Until I see You face to face
Until at last I've won my race
Remind me You're not finished yet

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
I'll live in remembrance


First two verses of this song refer to The Last Supper described in the Bible in Luke 22:19-20: "And He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me. Likewise He also took the cup after supper, saying, 'This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you.'"
"As far as heights reach from the depths, as far as east is from the west" is a reference to Psalm 30:11-12 in the Bible: "For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is His mercy toward those who fear Him; as far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us."
