To see you

How desperately I need to see you in the eyes of my brothers
Hear your voice in their's
feel your touch through them
the psalmist says "I would have fainted lest I experienced the goodness of the lord in the land of the living"
I say i would have fainted lest I experienced the goodness of the Lord through the touch of one just like me.
 Much hope is birthed from the touch of a fellow wretch A person aware of their unclean lips and the people they dwell among
 Receive the ministry of my body you say....for you can not receive me without my body...receiving my body is receiving me........
A wise man once said that through Christ's humanity the disciples had to see his divinity... may it be so amongst your people
through scars and open wounds, through blindness and lameness, may your divinity be seen
 help me to gaze into the eyes of your people and in that place peer into yours

As I conclude these song lyrics ring within:

"this mouth will taste
these lips will sing
of all our loss
to gain a king
this fellowship
forged in the flood
we eat your flesh
we drink your blood"

 I can hear more clearly now......"this is my body broken for you, take and eat........."
