about

A small testimony of my conversion and first communion experience, and what it means to me now. Enjoy!

lyrics

I was only eight years old, I ate the bread and drank the cup,
I was no great theologian, but I knew enough,
There was a man who came from heaven, well He was much more than a man,
Through His death I was forgiven, and in His life I now could stand,
I heard about Him in Sunday School, and my parents taught me too,
Then one night I confessed my sins, told Him what He already knew,
And as I took that first communion, there's no way I could've known,
All the ways my Lord would use me, It is through Him that I have grown..

(Chorus)
Looking back, looking forth,
See what the bread and cup are worth,
They tell the story of the Holy Lamb of God,
Until He comes back to this Earth,
We're looking back, looking forth,
Looking back, looking forth.

He was 33 years old, He took the bread and cup,
Said have a taste of my broken body, and a drink of priceless blood,
Later tonight you will betray me, you'll fall asleep then fall away,
But all these sins I can forgive you, through the price I'm gonna pay,
You've heard about this man named Moses, and the sacrificial lamb,
They were never enough to save you, but I'm telling you I AM,
And as they took that first communion, even then I think He knew,
Some day a broken wretch named Justin, would fall to his knees and turn to You,

(Repeat Chorus)

Hallelujah (4X)

Take the bread, drink the cup,
Remember your first love,
On this journey to death from birth,
We're looking back, we're looking forth.
