An Old Silver Chalice

By Paul McCann

Just like my Fathers before me , I hold the chalice in my hand . I eat his flesh and drink his blood , Remember me was his command . Its more than an old silver chalice That shines on an altar cloth . It’s a consecrated vessel Where the wine becomes the blood of . The blood of the lamb . Jesus said . Do this in memory of me . And everyone who drinks his blood Will have life eternally .
