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.
