It acts as a musical invitation to slow down and honor the foundational elements of the Christian faith with a quiet, focused heart.
Space for Intimate Worship
Musically, the song utilizes a gentle, meditative tempo to establish an atmosphere of sacred stillness.

Lyrics of “Hymn For Communion” by Michael W. Smith
Come to the table
Pull up a chair
The lost and the lonely
Are all welcome there
And all the empty
The weak and afraid
Come on in and be filled in Jesus name
Break the bread and lift the cup
Fill your broken heart with love
For every hungry one
He will always be enough
‘Cause heaven’s here and now
And God is here with us
Break the bread, lift the cup
The body and the blood
The simple now the sacred
The common now unique
For the lofty and the lowly
The mighty and the meek
The breaking for your healing
The bleeding sets you free
He is waiting now for all who would believe
Break the bread and lift the cup
Fill your broken heart with love
For every hungry one
He will always be enough
‘Cause heaven’s here and now
And God is here with us
Break the bread, lift the cup
The body and the blood
Break the bread and lift the cup
Fill your broken heart with love
For every hungry one
He will always be enough
‘Cause heaven’s here and now
And God is here with us
Break the bread, lift the cup
The body and the blood
Break the bread, lift the cup
The body and the blood
