O Holy Eucharist Upon the Altar

Sometimes, thoughts flow better when you are in His Presence. You think they are your thoughts, but they are worded better, organized better, than times when you are on your own. Later, when you return home and try to capture them again, compose them and write them as well as they had been before, you find that you cannot. After several experiences with this, you realize the reason. It is more than coincidence. It is because you had help. You had opened yourself to be closer to Him and He had entered in. That part of you that was made to connect to Him was permitted the freedom to do so.

This may, in some way, be what happened when the following poem was written, during adoration. It was graciously submitted to us by Letty:

Oh Holy Eucharist Upon the Altar

Oh holy Eucharist upon the altar,
In your presence, I delight,
The paschal lamb and perfect victor,
Winning souls with love and light.

Tell me Lord, here I wait,
Tell me what you want from me,
My heart is listening for your words,
Since you set my spirit free.

Oh holy Eucharist upon the altar,
In your presence, I delight,
The paschal lamb and perfect victor,
Winning souls with love and light.

Show me Lord, here I look,
Show me what you want for me,
I am blind to what you want,
But your spirit helps me see.

Oh holy Eucharist upon the altar,
In your presence, I delight,
The paschal lamb and perfect victor,
Winning souls with love and light.

Use me Lord, here I am,
Use me to your hearts desire,
I am just a simple soul,
But you’ve set my heart on fire.

Oh holy Eucharist upon the altar,
In your presence, I delight,
The paschal lamb and perfect victor,
Winning souls with love and light.

Guide me Lord, here I stand,
Guide me down the path of light,
I was lost and in the dark,
But your truth restored my sight.

Oh holy Eucharist upon the altar,
In your presence, I delight,
The paschal lamb and perfect victor,
Winning souls with love and light.

Change me Lord, here I pray,
Change me with your gift of love,
I am weak and full of sin,
But healing flows from God above.

Oh holy Eucharist upon the altar,
In your presence, I delight,
The paschal lamb and perfect victor,
Winning souls with love and light.

Bless me Lord, here I kneel,
Bless me with abundant grace,
I am humbled by your mercy,
In showing me your loving face.

Oh holy Eucharist upon the altar,
In your presence, I delight,
The paschal lamb and perfect victor,
Winning souls with love and light.

Fill me Lord, here I weep,
Fill me with your gift of still,
I have such a saddened heart,
But it’s joy to know your will.

Oh holy Eucharist upon the altar,
In your presence, I delight,
The paschal lamb and perfect victor,
Winning souls with love and light.

Touch me Lord, here I hurt,
Touch me with your healing balm,
I am such a tortured soul,
But your touch brings me calm.

Oh holy Eucharist upon the altar,
In your presence, I delight,
The paschal lamb and perfect victor,
Winning souls with love and light.

Rock me Lord, here I sleep,
Rock me in your gentle arms,
I am just your little child,
Protect me from all spiritual harms.

Oh holy Eucharist upon the altar,
In your presence, I delight,
The paschal lamb and perfect victor,
Winning souls with love and light.

Be with me Lord, here I sit,
Be with me, as thee I adore,
As I gaze with awe and wonder,
Loving you now and forever more.

AMEN
