You, oh Lord, have come down to earth God by design and human by birth Entered into a relationship with us Our creation is your magnum opus We are made perfect through the sacrifice Your death is what paid the price And still you longed to always be So close to us that we might see You in all your glory and majesty. In the form of bread and wine Given a foretaste of the divine United to you now in body and soul I am ever closer to the highest goal You are part of me and we are one And never shall this action be undone I can feel your heartbeat so strong You are the words to my greatest song You are as close as my very next breath In fact, without you, I have only death You are the strength to take the next step You are the wind that fills my sails You are in the smallest of details You are so close that I am surrounded So close the hairs on my head are counted
