Chalice Of My Fathers Faith : Religious Poetry

written by Poet : Paul McCann


The faith of my father ,was like music in the soul  ,Jesus played .

He introduced me to holy communion ,in the form of bread .

The faith of my Father, was like a river that flowed through the blood .

A river that flows between God and man,  is an eternal flood .

The faith of my father was like a void that only God could fill .   

The need for spiritual nourishment remains a mystery still .

Just like my Father before me ,
I hold the chalice in my hand .

I eat his flesh and drink his blood ,
Remember me was his command .

Its more than an old silver chalice
That shines on an altar cloth .

It's a consecrated vessel
Where the wine becomes the blood of .

The blood of the lamb .
Jesus said .
Do this in memory of me .

And everyone who drinks his blood
Will have life eternally .
