I Welcome God

I welcome God each day to show I'm His,
His protege, His vassal and His child,
for He's my Lord, the God of all there is,
I want us to be always reconciled.

God comes to me in human form as Christ,
I aim to treat Him as my favorite guest,
His heaven, His life for me He sacrificed,
we meet best in His gift of Eucharist.

This gift He wishes me to give to others,
to see His countenance in every face,
for both of us are joined to all as brothers,
and He begs me to help to spread His grace.

O God, You’re here to welcome me each day,
may I be there to welcome You, I pray.
