Receive What You Are (Eucharist)

from Revolution of the Heart by Fr Mark

/

about

The elements on the alter, Bread & Wine, are changed. We who receive them, too are changed. The world, hence, ought to be changed by the Eucharistic People who engage in it, like leaven in the world.

lyrics

Eucharist, the wine His precious blood, the bread His divine flesh
Eucharist, the medicine of immortality, the antidote to death
Eucharist, One bread, one body of Christ enter His true presence
Eucharist, The Apostolic Divine liturgy the One Eternal Banquet
 
receive what you are, one sky scattered with a million stars
One beautiful body the union of love, with Christ as the head of many parts
The last will and testament of Christ the night before he was scarred
For our redemption consumption of the sacred species so we never depart
Heaven kissed the earth, awakening us from the poisonous infection
Lost wandering in the darkness, the celestial aid granted enlightenment
Bound up chained to insanity, who is the one with they key in possession
God turned the world upside down, omnipotence became childlike innocence
Our sinful situation is replaced when the Son of God incarnate was defaced
Descent into bitter humiliation passing from death to life for our sakes
The mother stork punctured her side the children consume living grace
The only essential necessity to sustain, a myriad of blessed martyrs and saints
We are given the bread of the angels, and join in the banquet of heaven
The bread of our liberation from sin, Passover from Exodus its unleavened
The sacrament of sacraments convergence of all points of seven
So no lone human severed can ever make up for this divine endeavor
 
Eucharist, the wine is the precious blood, the bread is His divine flesh
Eucharist, the medicine of immortality, the antidote to death
Eucharist, One bread, one body of Christ enter His true presence
Eucharist, The Apostolic Divine liturgy the One Eternal Banquet
 
Christ the one true High Priest entered the Holy of Holies One Mediator
Between Pure God and fallen humans, when sins chasm separator
The only way truth and life to be in good grace of creation and Creator
When humans enslaved have almost lost all hope until came the Savior
Division would come to characterize the humans for many centuries
So the High Priest of the new covenant would cut the veil to the Sanctuary
Fear would motivate the political forces of hate filled legal authority
So the Spirit of Grace would overcome the mistrust and defeat war with peace
The cosmos corrupted by the fallen humans appetite so insatiable
When we could be the bread to nourish the hungry who are waiting
We take sustenance from most needy while we are busy with ethics and debating
God did not stand back idly He broke into the world to begin a New Creation
The Rite of Dying and sinking buried in the tomb by the Sacred Water Initiation
The Rite of Life completion in communion where the human soul is consummated
There on the Alter lies the mystery that you are meant to become and attain
One in the Union of the New Life One The gateway into Eternity for all to remain
