Communion

May we drink all you are giving
From the well of water living
So we will never be coerced
In future by ego or thirst

May You keep us forever fed
With words and eternal life bread
In heavenly food saturate
That we hunger not as we wait

May we partake Your blood and flesh
So every spirit is kept fresh
And Your people will never cease
To inherit Your love and peace
