I will rush out to meet you
My Eternal Word
Be it for the Beatitudes on the Hills
Or the Scroll in the Synagogue.

I will rush out to meet you
My Eternal Teacher
As you pass in and out of every town
To gain the Wisdom that dwells in you always.

I will rush out to meet you
My Eternal King
With Palms waving and furling
To your entry on the humble one.

I will rush out to meet you
My Eternal Lamb
As you walk with our own sins
To offer yourself in my place.

I will rush out to meet you
My Eternal Savior
As you lay down your life
And take it up again on the third day.

I will rush out to meet you
My Risen Lord
As you walk this earth in another form
To set in place the Resurrection Norm. 

I will rush out to meet you
My Eternal God
As you ascend back to your throne
The Home of the Trinity from the first day.

I will rush out to meet you
Each day in the Paschal Mystery
To let my soul gain its worth
When it receives you into my heart.

I will rush out to meet you
My Eternal Bread
To feed my soul with the best food
Know this is the source of eternal life.

I will rush out to meet you
Before the day can even begun
To let my eyes be satisfied
With your presence touching mine.

I will rush out to meet you
When my heart cannot contain itself
And needs to have a conversation with your heart
In the abode and domain where you rule.

I will rush out to meet you
My Eternal Love
As you teach me love as you did love
No one else can teach me the way you do
Or make me feel Love as you make me feel.

I will rush out to meet you
When my soul is called to your realm
Fly in eager ascent through the clouds
To dash up the flowery steps of Heaven
Hail your Mother at she stands to welcome me
And plunge myself into your eternal embrace.
