Backsliding, and far away from God I stayed away from the Lord’s Table,
A sense of unworthiness, a great sense of guilt, they greatly disabled.
How could I partake of somethings so precious and so sacred and holy?
Now I am restored, I am able to come to the Lord’s table, gratefully.
I examine my heart, and I know that I have grieved the Lord because of sin,
But I am reminded of how Jesus shed His blood, to cleanse me, deep within!
I come to the Lord’s Table now, with a sense of new and holy appreciation,
I partake with great consciousness of the Lord’s great love and compassion.
The Bread, His Body, which I partake of today, was cruelly broken to save my soul,
Cruel hands broke His Body, but this was done, that I may truly be made whole!
The Cup which I partake of, represents His precious blood shed for me,
I ponder, and tears come, that His blood had to be shed on dark Calvary!
Jesus died that my sins may all be forgiven, and I did not know how to appreciate,
The dreadful sins that drew me away, these sins, my soul now detests and hates!
Restored, forgiven, no longer would I willfully roam from the fold of the Lord,
Reinstated, reassured, I commune now with my wonderful Father-God!
