Leon Bonnat, “Christ on the Cross”, (1874)
.
i can’t get to the altar fast enough
i thirst
i am laden
my yoke is hard
my burden is heavy
Jesus!
body
blood
soul
divinity
Jesus!
save me, Lord, i’m sinking
i throw my hands upon the raft
i reach for the tassels of Your robe
i cling to Your right hand
hold me fast!
union, Lord Jesus
union
in union may i suffer
take not it away
union, Lord Jesus
union
i cling
You hold fast
we rise together
first You
then me
Thru You, With You, In You
in me, with me, thru me
rise, rise, rise
rise up
oh ancient doors
ENTER THE KING OF GLORY!

We are one body. The church is the one body, thus we all suffer with you, and we all rise with you! Thank You, my Lord and my Christ. Everything with You, my Lord. Nothing without You! How I love You! You are our life and our salvation!
