Harvest of the field

Harvest of the field

A D
Was buried, sprouted and gave birth
C6 G
A great harvest, the yield was threshed
A A
Reminds me of Your beaten flesh.
A D
The grains were rolled and crushed and so
A D
The flour was moulded into dough,
C6 G
Given the yeast, the bread was raised.
A
Reminds me how you conquered the grave
But the fruit was trampled, bruised and tossed.
Reminds me of your rugged cross.
So the juice is placed, where Your people dine.
We break the bread and we sip the wine.
The cup overflows with a wine-stained flood.
Reminds me of Your precious blood.
G D
I’m sorry Lord, you had to die for me
G D
Bore all my grief upon that tree
C6 A
Forgive my sins and set me free
