A beautiful sacred hymn with music by Kevin G. Pace and text by Mary Ann W. Snowball. This hymn is a deeply reverent and personal meditation on the suffering, sacrifice, and redemptive love of Jesus Christ, framed within the sacred act of the Sacrament. Each verse draws the worshiper into a poignant reflection on Christ’s earthly trials, atoning death, and the symbols of bread and wine, which represent His torn flesh and spilled blood. The language evokes empathy and gratitude, inviting believers to emotionally and spiritually connect with the Savior’s pain and purpose. The repeated chorus—"This is our Sacrament, Jesus and me, / Communion so I can be free"—beautifully encapsulates the intimate relationship between Christ and the individual, emphasizing both remembrance and liberation through His grace.

Text:
Seeing Christ’s life filled with hardship and strife,
My heart fills with pure empathy.
Knowing His death as my heaven-sent breath,
This is God’s planned remedy.

Taking a crumb with my finger and thumb,
I ponder Christ’s flesh torn to be
Symbol of death from my Savior’s great depth:
This is His body for me.

Seeing Christ’s blood, my tears offer a flood;
My heart breaks for His mortal pain.
Knowing His gift brings my own sins to lift:
This is His grief for my gain.

Taking this cup with my Jesus I sup,
Remembering blood spilled for sin.
Symbol reminding me I can be free:
This is His blood to forgive.

Chorus
:
This is our Sacrament, Jesus and me,
Communion so I can be free.
