Cristo Amigo
Pe. André Luna
Christ Friend
Christ friend You are my life
You are the strength and reason of my being
Already animates me the sweet hope
Of one day in glory to see You!
Already animates me the sweet hope
Of one day in glory to see You!
On that day, at the last supper
Jesus Christ, to his disciples
Was saying eternal words
And gave us his body as food
Communing at the sacred table
Detesting the horror of sin
We will be salt and light to the world
Messengers of peace and love
Christ said: Whoever eats my body
Will possess eternal life!
His flesh revives the chosen ones
Who will rise with Him
To commune is to be with Jesus
In perfect and happy union
Which brings us the sincere desire
To love and serve our brother
