Bound Love
See I what in holy Bread?
See I what in sacred Wine?
We in Them are fully fed;
Here partake we of Divine.
Child blessed do I hold--
Greater Love I wish was mine!
Let me love You as I'm told;
At Your table let me dine.
How this Flesh loves more than I,
Simple bread It seems to be!
In such Love I wish to die;
Lord, my God, be whole in me!
Love are You and Truth as well;
In Your image we are made;
Therefore we in these things dwell--
Body, we, and Blood the same.
You are greater, O my Love,
Truth, in these essential things!
You are boundless up above;
We are finite, cased in strings!
Now Yourself You trap o Lord;
Now You feel what binds us too:
Bread and Wine by sacred Word
Bind You now to faithful few.
Molecules and particles
Bind You, Lord, like iron chains.
Tell us You in articles--
Does this bidding be humane?
