Corpus Christi

Oh, Jesus in the sacrament
You are my deepest center
You’ve knocked upon my door
I open up and let you in

And in my heart you dwell
Igniting it with fervor
With that divine fire
Increasing my love more and more

My eyes are fixed on you
You show me the way
And in the sacred communion
I know you, oh, Divine King

As I drink in the immense joy
Of being transformed in You
Only You my soul breathes for
Oh, Jesus, who is here with me

Good Shepherd, true bread
Have mercy, oh, our Jesus
Feed us, protect us
Corpus Christi, we adore you!

Good Shepherd, true bread
Have mercy, oh, our Jesus
Tend to your flock
Jesus Christ, we worship you!

Sovereign of the heavens
Oh, Lord, enthroned
As in this humble bread
You have stayed with us

That to our poor gazes
And very humble adoration
You would want to remain
Only love explains this

The manna in the desert
Was food for Israel
But it doesn’t nourish eternal life
Like You do, oh, Emmanuel

Hidden in this host
You give us life
And in love so given
You are our heavenly food

Behold the bread of angels
Made food for travelers
Truly the bread of children
Corpus Christi, we adore you!

Here is the bread from heaven
Food for the journey
Bread that God gives to His children
Jesus Christ, we worship you!

Corpus Christi, we adore you!
