Want to be consumed by you,
Course through your inner being,
Spread into your heart and through
The senses used for seeing.
For strength is in One Body,
To be one with the many,
The Kerygma embodied,
Open to welcome any.
Eat this Bread to be humble,
To better love your neighbor,
Get back up when you stumble,
Be quick to grant a favor.
I come to make you stronger,
A daily boost in union;
With siblings you’ll go further;
Far stronger in communion.
Pursue not for power’s sake,
Spent on your own selfish ends,
But embrace this Kingdom ache,
To forever live with friends.
