Tell Me, Who Do You Say That I Am
(To the tune of "Edelweiss"... kinda)
Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ,
In the Eucharist You greet me.
Small and white, Love's pure Light,
You love me so humbly and sweetly.
Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity!
Word made flesh -- forever!
Bread of Life, Emmanuel,
God with us, now... forever!
Mercy Divine, how to define,
Your omnipotence, so tender...
With us You trod, for Father God,
Lead me, Lord, I surrender!
You are the Way, the Truth, and Life,
Son of God... and Mary,
Redeemer mine -- for all mankind,
Mediator to our Father.
Suffering-- Servant,
By Your wounds, I am healed.
Looking upon --You-- I've pierced,
Heart of Mercy revealed.
