Mother's Communion

Unexpected invitation
This new life that Iʼve received
Iʼm afraid but I am willing
You have just changed everything
You are silent, you are hidden
But look deep within and see
Body, blood, and soul are present
Living fully within me
I am not worthy to receive this life
But only say the world, I shall be healed

This is my body, given up for you
This is my blood, flowing from my heart into you
He gave you life, o child within my womb
We receive the gift of new life
This is my body, given up for you

Love will lead to liberation
There's no greater love than this
To lay down my life, to pay the real price for you, little friend
Laboring in expectation, suffering to serve a feast
My breast is bread, my milk is wine
For you to freely come receive
I am not worthy to receive your life
But only say the word, I shall be healed

This is a mother's communion
She's a chalice for her child
She's a living tabernacle for the presence of God
Each soul fashioned in his image
On the cross for all he died
So that not one little child might perish
But all be born into eternal life
We receive your life
