VERSE ONE 
Let me never forget this Love so divine 
In your Body and Blood, in this bread and this wine 
Let me never forget the nails in your hands 
That you would die for me, I’ll never understand 
 
CHORUS 
Your love is sweeter than wine 
Your love is better than life 
So I’ll sing until my final breath 
Your love, O Lord, 
is stronger than death 
 
VERSE TWO 
Let me never forget how you suffered such loss 
Obedient to death, even death on a cross 
Let me never forget that you have called me by name 
With all that I am, I’ll forever proclaim: 
 
BRIDGE 
Neither death nor life 
Neither depth nor height 
Can ever separate me from Your love 
Not things present nor to come 
And I have only just begun 
To know the wonders of Your love 
(REPEAT BRIDGE)

THE WORD IN THE WORDS - Here are the Scriptures that inspired this song! 
 
While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, "Take it; this is my body." 
Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, and they all drank from it. 
"This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many," he said to them. 
Mark 14:22-24 
 
"Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were,…I will not believe it."… 
Then he said to Thomas, "Put your finger here; see my hands. ….Stop doubting and believe." Thomas said to him, "My Lord and my God!" 
John 20:28 
 
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: 
While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 
Romans 5:8 
 
Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth-- 
for your love is more delightful than wine. 
Song of Songs 1:2 
 
Because your love is better than life, 
my lips will glorify you. 
Psalm 63:3 
 
Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; 
for love is as strong as death, 
Song of Songs 8:6 
 
And being found in appearance as a man, 
he humbled himself 
and became obedient to death-- 
even death on a cross! 
Philippians 2:8 
 
…Before I was born the LORD called me; 
from my birth he has made mention of my name. 
Isaiah 49:1b 
 
Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains. Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should. 
Colossians 4:2-4 
 
For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. 
Romans 8:37-38

Communion Song ~ Let Me Never Forget (Song of Songs 1:2; 8:6 / Philippians 2:8 / Romans 8:37-38)

This song is a reminder that we who belong to Jesus have something that can never be taken from us. We can lose our money, our job, our spouse, our children, our health, and even our memories if our minds fail us. 
 
In the Gospel of John, Jesus’ disciple shows us our eternal, unchanging treasure when he chose to refer to himself not by name but over and over as “the one Jesus loved.”

So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have put him!”

Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” As soon as Simon Peter heard him say, “It is the Lord,” he wrapped his outer garment around him (for he had taken it off) and... more
