The Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe
-
Christ the KingJesus our Lord, King of the Universe
Source and ground of all existence
Word made flesh you traversed the distance
King of Kings becomes next of kin
Word of God, comes to dwell within
So much does he love us
That in order not to lose us
He lay down his life for us
This is my body given for you
This is my blood poured out for you
What more could I do to show
That I am for you and will never let go
All I ask is that you remember and give thanks
In the Eucharistic Sacrifice
Come all who labor and are burdened
Come you broken, lost, and abandoned
The King of Kings is calling, not to condemn but to save
Freedom, forgiveness, abundant life he gave
Your mission now, should you choose to accept it
Is become next of kin to the stranger, homeless, prisoner and the least
For it is in giving that we receive
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned
It is in dying that we are born to eternal life
Jesus Christ, the king of the Universe lives by the power of his resurrection
Jesus lives in the Eucharist
Jesus lives through his priest ministers
Jesus lives in you who believe
Que Viva Cristo Rex!
