Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

The cup just passed
the taste still ripe
sitting on their tongues
as Christ started to speak

The wine, after the bread,
what were these words,
the master’s body
and now the words
the cup his blood

A covenant to replace
on the Passover night
a new lamb soon to be slaughtered
to stand in the breach
protecting us once more

God’s wrath to pass over
to fall upon the sacrifice
our sins upon his head
going to the cross instead
