Leaving Christ

If I leave Christ, I have to go somewhere,
I know there is no better place to go;
where can I go to end up in a prayer?
For leaving Him, what would I have to show?

Christ is my life, my food, my meat and drink,
He is the flesh and blood on which I feed;
in my food chain He is the strongest link,
He is the Eucharist I know I need.

What is there in this world compared to Him?
Who else is there who's done so much for me?
For who else would I give my life and limb?
Who else can say I am His cup of tea?

For Him all my life long I've sacrificed,
what would I be if I stayed not with Christ?
