Lyrics:    You laid your life down like sowing a seed; once dead and buried, from death you are freed, rising like wheat in the warmth of the sun! Christ you are risen! New life has begun!    Christ, you are risen, but not far above: you live among us in each act of love, in every deed of compassion you rise, living in flesh we can see with our eyes. Christ, we are blest as we gather to dine, strengthened for love by the bread and the wine. This is your Body, now entering ours, strong with your loving, miraculous powers. Gathered like wheat from the fields in the sun, once we were scattered but raised we are one. We are the body of your love and grace, your blest community, your real human face. Jesus, you feed us, then bid us to leave, sharing with others the love we receive. We are your Body, sent by your command, making love real as the bread in our hands.
