Corpus Christi 2

Observe the ones who bear Christ's name, see corpus Christi without shame. They're His, aflame and all forgiv'n; the church at work and Spirit driv'n. Survey the hands that do good deeds the feet that stamp out weeds of sin, the ears that hearken to the needs and loving hearts that pray to win. Bags of clean clothes or groceries and toys for kids to please with such a friend, a crutch for wannabes, note to a mom who works too much. A "Christ" ian offers help - esprit, a warming breath, you will agree. One censure free, one new reborn receives support in lieu of scorn…

corpus Christi is Latin, I think, for the body of Christ. It refers to the church, offered metaphorically referred to as the body of Christ who is the head of the church. Don't know where the city in Texas got its name. Sorry for the late reply, I am checking out some old poems for clarity. Thank you for the reply.
