What a beautiful song that captures what the Lord's Supper is all about as we ask for that forgiveness and as we come with thanksgiving.

And what wonderful news is to know that no matter what you've done you have never done anything to cause God to love you any less. He loves you with a perfect love and that love endures forever.
