REAL PRESENCE

From His Sacrifice of perfect love
when Jesus died for you and me,
He is present, ever near us
it’s where He wants to be.

Upon each altar daily
He repeats His Sacrifice,
to show us how He loves us
He gives us food that does suffice.

In the form of wafer-white
and red as ruby wine,
He gives to us His Body, Blood
His Soul, His presence so divine.

Then He waits in majesty
for us to come to Him and share,
our prayers, our joys, our sorrows
our each and every care.

We must become like mirrors
reflect the Father’s Love to all,
and keep within His presence
He will heed our every call.
