As we eat and drink from that communion table, that is what we are supposed to be remembering nothing else in our lives is more important that the true meaning of communion. Jesus gave his life so we could have eternal life. We have communion at church on a regular basis and it is intended to be a reminder for each of us in regards to what happened in that Upper Room long ago. This entire song is about Jesus reminding us to remember the sacrifice he became to save all of us, remember his teachings, remember his love for others, and remember to follow the message he has placed in our hearts. My visit was many years ago, but the words of this song are even more powerful to me today. As we sang in this special place, I was filled with emotion as the sounds began reverberating off the walls and thought about what our Savior was preparing to do for each of us.

It was amazing to be where Jesus conducted the Last Supper and let his disciples know what was about to happen. I can still remember walking up those worn steps to get to the Upper Room and then entering what is now an empty room with columns being the only items within the room. Some of the sites included the Garden Tomb, Bethlehem Square on Christmas Eve, and the Upper Room. I was part of a church youth choir that toured various sites in Israel and we sang at each of the historical sites. This song has a very special meaning to me. A link to Cynthia Clawson performing the song is at the bottom of this Blog entry. The next song for my Blog was written by Ragan Courtney and Buryl Red and was first released in 1972 as part of the Celebrate Life Musical.
