Stop all the seeking
And list of things to do
Pause now with a prayer
To hear this message true
I Am here knocking
Nothing to pursue
You did not choose me
But I have chosen you
Know this in your soul
Wisdom to believe
Open up the door
A blessing to receive
With heart of gratitude
This treasure to embrace
A joyful revelation
The primacy of grace
He took, blessed, and broke
Then He gave the bread
A miracle to all
Five thousand souls were fed
And for His last supper
Again, He took and blessed
He broke and He gave
His love to friends, professed
The chosen One was blessed
On His cross was broken
God incarnate, given
He is the Word spoken
Walking to Emmaus
With bread of which to share
Took, blessed, broke and gave
Our Lord to them appeared
And so, as His beloved
Through Him, spiritually
Chosen, blessed and broken
And given, let us be
Based upon words by Henri Nouwen
