In the upper room it was getting dark in the evening gloom
When the master entered in the upper room
And with him eleven apostles saw true
One had turned greater as the master well knew
The time now had come for God's will to be done
The great God was given His only dear Son
To spell out His lifeblood for men of good will
The dear kind Christ Jesus would pay Adam's bill
While they were dining the master took bread
With a prayer he broke it
These words he said
This is my body which is given for you
Eat it in remembrance for the work that you must do
He then took the cup and gave thanks for the bread
This is my blood you must drink it he said
It is shed for the many who answer the call
To redeem fallen mankind I've given my all
Tears fill my eyes there's no more to say
We all know the story of the next day
They ceased our dear Saviour their mountain was torn
Through our dear Saviour a kingdom was born
With pieces of silver did Judas know good
He hung himself as Christ knew he would
Just the fingers of God woven to life's loop
The memory of promise and the upper roof
