Before I Take the Sacrament

1. Before I take the sacrament, I sit so quietly. I know that Jesus came to earth and died for me.

2. I think of all the boys and girls whom Jesus used to know, The days he walked upon the earth, so long ago.

3. I take the water and the bread and try so hard to be The kind of child that Jesus loved in Galilee.
