 Lord, O God,
   eat my flesh,
    drink my blood,
   that in my death 
I may become good
   Consume me
I hate this flesh that's ruined me.
   Consume me
   For only in You
   will I ever be
       true
O God
My flesh is worthless 
apart from You
I need Your breath 
to live anew
Consume me
Cleanse me
Renew me
Send me

I just realized  - "I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" - He brings His flesh and blood  to the table - for me to dine on - and the only appropriate response,  indeed, all I have to offer Him to sup on - is my own flesh and blood: "Take, eat Lord, this is my body broken for you - drink my blood - the fruit of a soul humbled and broke - The wine that gladdens your as your blood does mine. I am worthless without You, Lord.

Shalom my child -
Shalom to your soul.
Troubled one please know -
My peace I give to you
My peace I leave
For the joyous times
and the times you grieve
We are at peace
you and I
You are embraced 
by your Lord Most High
I do not leave you comfortless 
I do not forsake whom I have blessed
Whom I rescue 
I renew
I plant you by the riverof My presence 
where we'll fellowship from here to eternity  -
                                - how pleasant!
My love,
               come away with Me
               from all that is unclean
     alone  - you and I
      in the garden of My delight
My love,
open your heart and see -
I will never leave or forsake thee -
Shalom, My child,
Shalom - you are home -
The home built on the Rock of your Salvation 
 able to withstand all tribulations
 till the end of all that hates all that loves
Our sweet communion  - our everlasting union 
 is all your life should consist of .......
