Ecce Panis Angelorum

I come before you,
broken and bent,
my head on the ground
my life in your hands

gentle and loving,
every moment I spend
is a moment of true life
If only every second was yours!

in humble package,
exposed
weak, fragile, simple

neither king nor conqueror,
you need us!
cooperation in miraculous wonder
our greatest gift
from you, to each other.

So powerful, so beautiful,
that a moment can change
the hardened heart.
Glimpse and glimmer,
vivify the sorrowing;
incorrigible simplicity,
defeating the wise.

behold the terrible majesty
of our God!
that, humble, he came as bread and babe.
