Dying, You destroyed our death!

Remembrance is a beautiful communion song that reminds us there are "none too lost to be saved; None too broken or ashamed; All are welcome in this place." I wondered about one line that seems at face value to be referring to transubstantiation ("now the simple made divine"). When I read in the liner notes that the words were taken from the Roman Missal, I realized it was more than an implication. That being said, a case could be made that the song is talking about acknowledging God's divine activity in the simple act of taking the bread and cup together. I'd want to make sure people knew what was meant by that line.

Oh How Could It Be (Remembrance)

Words and Music by Matt Redman & Matt Maher

Oh how could it be
That my God would welcome me
Into this mystery?
Say 'take this bread, take this wine'
Now the simple made divine
For any to receive

By Your mercy we come to Your table
By Your grace You are making us faithful

Lord, we remember You
And remembrance leads us to worship
And as we Worship You
Our Worship leads to communion
We respond to Your invitation
We remember You

See His body, His blood; know that He has overcome
Every trial we will face
None too lost to be saved, none too broken or ashamed
All are welcome in this place

Dying You destroyed our death
Rising You restored our life
Lord Jesus, come in glory
Lord Jesus, come in glory (Lord Jesus, come in glory)
