Holding Jesus

Most Lovely Innocent God
Beautiful Child
Jesus Christ
I hold your tender Body
In my caring hands

And you offer no resistance
Orphaned as you are now
And looking for a father in me

But I have abused you
My early love distorted

Show your Justice
And your Mercy too
For I have been abused.

Most Holy Gracious God
Beautiful Lord
Jesus Christ

I hold your bloody Body
In my guilty hands

And you offer no resistance
Wounded as you are now
And looking for a mother in me

But I have betrayed you
My early love deserted

Show your Justice
And your Mercy too
For I have been betrayed.

Most Loving Generous God
Beautiful Bread
Jesus Christ

I hold your sacred Body
In my hungry hands
And you offer no resistance
Given as you are to self-giving.
