Communion

(A) What does (E) communion do to (D) bless you (A)

(Instrumentals until verse- following chord pattern of chorus)

(A) It was a (E) house call of (D) communion (A)
But it was not about the bread and (E) wine
(A) Family crying (E) holding arms (D) and legs and (A) toes and hands
We lifted prayers up to (E) heaven
Just our (D) family and a (E) pastor who was sent (A)

It was the atmostphere of communion
Soft light of candles filled the air
Colorful Korean kids holding hands up on the wall
I could smell, hear, taste communion
I could see it, I could feel it everywhere

chorus

(A) What does (E) communion do to (D) bless you? (A)
A ritual you do and then go (E) home?
(A) Unlock your (E) spirit, open the (D) tear ducts of your (A) soul
Receive the blessing, taste the (E) love
This is (D) soul food you were (E) granted from (A) above

This is the body, said the preacher
Gift from a holy one to you
When the wheat cracked I heard the bones break
The broken body of my father
Received the blessings of a man from long ago.

This is the blood, said the reverend
Salt water flowed from my weary eyes
That grape soaked break was the last meal of my father
The breakfast from a champion
Who lost his robe and his earthly crown but never died

chorus

What does communion do to bless you?
Extend the gift past the house of God
Unlock your spirit, open the tear ducts of your soul
Receive the blessing, taste the love
This is soul food you were granted from above.
