An Act of Spiritual Communion - Piano/Vocal Version

I said I'd rather die than go a day
Without receiving your Body and Blood
All of Heaven's grace sublime therein contained
Our Daily Bread come down from Heaven to sustain
His promise to remain

Since I cannot come to receive you now
I'll reach with arms of faith across this town
What I wouldn't give to touch you
My lover lies in wait for me
To give His Body in Holy Communion
To become one with me
The Divine ecstasy

Love can sail oceans
Climb mountains
Cross deserts
Fly through the stars of night
So we may unite
I embrace you as though you were already there
My longing is my prayer
My heart is a vigil lantern aflame in the dark
The desire of my heart

Since I cannot come to receive you now
I'll reach with arms of faith across this town
What I wouldn't give to touch you
My lover lies in wait for me
To give His Body in Holy Communion
To become one with me
The Divine ecstasy

May your heart, O Jesus
In the most Blessed Sacrament
Thou art present
Be praised, adored, and loved
With grateful affection
At every moment
In all the tabernacles of the world
Even to the end of time, Amen

Since I cannot come to receive you now
I'll reach with arms of faith across this town
What I wouldn't give to touch you
My lover lies in wait for me
To give His Body in Holy Communion
To become one with me
The Divine ecstasy

Since I cannot come to receive you now
I'll reach with arms of faith across this town
What I wouldn't give to touch you
My lover lies in wait for me
