Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood,
you cannot have eternal life within you (John 6:53; NLT).
1. I pray that all will eat your bread,
And drink your living wine,
Then faith will grow in every human heart –
Including mine.
2. I pray that all will seek your face,
And know you are God’s sign,
Then hope will reign supreme in every heart –
Including mine.
3. I pray that all will praise you,
And become your holy shrine,
Then peace will dwell in every single heart –
Including mine.
4. I pray that all will trust you, Lord,
And realise you’re divine,
Then love will overflow from every heart –
Including mine.
