Let’s Have Lamb
I was thinking
Why don’t we have lamb
instead of bread for communion?
Since Jesus was the Lamb
of God who was slain
shouldn’t lamb represent His body?
I’m not complaining, mind you
I don’t even like lamb
And everyone loves bread
But it just seems odd
and somewhat illogical
Then again, the whole thing
often strikes me as a bit illogical
That God would love us enough
to die for us
Perhaps at that Last Supper
God, because He is omniscient,
could foresee
what a hassle it would be
to serve lamb with our wine
in church each week
And so we get bread
regular or gluten-free
