Jesus’ flesh and blood (Vol 4 No 80)
We wish to make connection
Together, not alone,
With Jesus and his spirit,
With Jesus’ flesh and bone;
And so when we remember
In symbols, bread and wine,
We share a holy union,
Both sacred and divine.
His flesh and blood - so human,
Was just like yours and mine;
And though he died in suff’ring
His love will ever shine;
In all who breed compassion,
In all who show they care
His flesh is always vibrant,
When love expels despair.
His blood of true compassion -
It flowed from nails of pain;
The evil price demanded
From ‘powers’ gone insane;
When sharing in his mission
His blood maintains its flow
In those who work for justice,
Where peace and mercy grow.
The food and drink from Jesus
That nourishes our soul
Is offered without ration,
Is that which makes us whole;
His life is lived within us
When love rules what we do;
When nurtured by his spirit
God’s reign is seen anew.
