GraceForgivenessGratitudeTestimony
A warm country-gospel invitation back to the upper room, where Jesus gave bread and lifted the cup in the shadow of the cross. This devotional follows the song from Passover to covenant to remembrance, letting the Lord's Table speak its gospel of costly love and coming hope.
"For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come."
A song for the road you're on.

The Bread and the Cup Dirt Road Gospel Music DirtRoadGospelMusic.com [Intro] [Verse 1] Twelve men gathered in an upper room, The Passover lamps burned low. He knew the hour was coming soon, But still He served them so. [Verse 2] He looked around at each tired face, He knew what love would cost. And in that quiet, holy space, He gave them all He had. [Chorus 1] He gave the bread, "This is My body," He raised the cup, "This is My blood." One for the breaking, one for the pouring, Both were given out of love. He gave the bread, He raised the cup for you. [Verse 3] One at the table would not stay true, Judas slipped out into the night. Still Jesus loved them, all the way through, Still He passed the bread and light. [Chorus 2] He gave the bread, "Take now and eat it," He raised the cup, "Do this for Me." A body broken, a promise spoken, Both to set the captive free. He gave the bread, He raised the cup for you. [Bridge 1] Long ago in Egypt's shadow, Blood was marked on every door. Death passed by where the lamb had suffered, Now the Lamb walks in once more. No more doorpost, no more hiding, He himself would be the sign. Once for all, the true Lamb given, Blood not on wood, but wine. [Bridge 2] So we take, we remember, We drink, we remember too. Every table, every altar, Still declares what love can do. [Final Chorus] He gave the bread, "This is My body," He raised the cup, "This is My blood." A covenant sealed, forever revealed, In the bread and cup of love. He gave the bread, He raised the cup for you. He gave the bread, He raised the cup for you. [Outro] For you... for you...
