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. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ April 27, 2021 Poetry Contest Deadline: Saturday, May 22, 2021 Sponsored by: Mystic Rose Rose Tell Me, Who Do You Say That I Am Poetry Contest: (https://www.poetrysoup.com/poetry/contests/tell_me_who_do_you_say_that_i_am__14287) Other Poetry-Souper readers, still time to enter! :D ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Scripture references: ~Bread of Life (John 6) ~Word made flesh (John 1:14) ~Emmanuel, God with us (Matthew 1:23, Isaiah 7:14) ~Way, Truth, Life; Mediator (John 14:6) ~Suffering Servant etc. (Isaiah 53) ~"They will look upon Him Whom they have pierced" (Zechariah 12:10, John 19:37) Other references: ~"Love's pure Light" (Silent Night hymn) ~Eucharist phrases (Catechism of the Catholic Church) ~my heart ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
