about

A hymn rooted in the central words of Christ spoken at the Last Supper, offering a prolonged meditation on the mystery of the Word made flesh, who has come so close to us as to become our very nourishment, to become bread and drink for our sustenance, our life, and our everlasting gladness. This song is also offered as a “Communion hymn,” a liturgical song that could be sung in the silent space following upon the reception of the incarnate Son of God in the Holy Eucharist.

lyrics

In this bread I find his Body broken, fully given,
sign of Mystery, freely given:
Word made flesh, now made bread.
What immeasurable Love!

“This is My Body.”

At this last supper with his friends,
He takes the bread, and breaks it, saying:

“This is My Body, given for you.”

Word made flesh, now made bread.
What immeasurable Love!

At then the cup he takes and blesses,
Love’s self-giving, saying:

“This is My Blood, poured out for you.”

Word made flesh, now made drink.
What immeasurable Love!

The whole Paschal Mystery here is hidden,
as a gift for all the ages.

Love over hatred, Life over death.
Communion enduring eternal.

In this single gift given that we may live in Him:
What immeasurable Love!

Joshua Elzner and Catherine Guilbeau Texas

We believe that beauty, all beauty, is a sign and a sacrament of the One who himself is Beauty. Every created thing, every glimmer of glory, every echo of harmony, is a word from the God who fashioned all things out of his immeasurable love. And in all created words, silent, spoken, visible, musical, the one Word is made known: "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us." ... more
