Passover

I've called you here to break with me this bread, to drink sweet wine and eat of peppered cod None here a servant, each a friend, instead Find on this board the boundless love of God Come! Sit beside me now and eat thy fill, while I wash from thy feet the earth you've trod Though most here are intended of goodwill, one man who would betray me joins us, too So knowing, though, he's precious to me, still Fate never altered course because one 'knew' As such, I've called you here to say goodbye Please love each other as I have loved you And who lives by that love for which I die, shall meet me in God's kingdom in the sky...

Thank you, Anaya. That line seems to be popular, I'm glad I put it in there!
