Sacramento da Comunhão
Eliana Ribeiro
Sacrament of Communion
Lord, when I see you in the sacrament of communion
I feel the sky opening and a light reaching me
Cooling my head, warming my heart
Lord, thanks and praises be given at all times
I want to praise you in pain, in joy, and in suffering
And if in the midst of tribulation, I forget about you
Illuminate my darkness with your light
Jesus, source of mercy flowing from the temple
Jesus, the Son of the Queen
Jesus, divine face of man
Jesus, human face of God
I often come to your house, my Lord
Sad and downcast, needing love
But after communion, your house is my heart
Then I feel heaven within me
I don't commune because I deserve it, I know, oh my Lord, I commune because I need you
When I missed mass, I was running away from myself, from you, but now I've returned, please accept me
