Two Lovers Meet

I come to You, O Christ, with love each day
because You come to Mass each day for me,
for me not far, for You a long, long way,
I bring just me, while You come powerfully.

First time You came, it was Your Incarnation,
a mighty trip--from Trinity above,
the world was shaken by this Re-Creation,
fulfilling that first Covenant of Love.

But now You come to re-create my soul,
Your presence physical and spiritual,
preparing me with grace for heaven’s goal,
Incarnate Eucharist, Your miracle.

Your blood I drink, Your body, Lord, I eat,
how beautifully two faithful lovers meet.
