This is my Body… This is my Blood…

This is my Body… This is my Blood…
(on the resumption of Missa cum populo)

We gather in your name O Lord
And partake your Body and Blood, our heavenly food
That we, in our nakedness, may be clothed
In our infirmity, we may live in one accord

Chorus

Here your Body and your Blood
The Bread and Wine of your love
Nourish and heal us with your heavenly food
A ray of blessing from heaven above

With your Body and Blood you purify us
By this Bread and Wine you draw near us
Come and make our hearts your shrine
May your presence remind us that we are Thine

Bridge

Before your loving presence we stand
Come and bind our hearts as one
That in compassion we may grow
And day by day it is charity we sow

Coda

A ray of blessing from heaven above

(Jerick Asdang)
