Hosts of Host

I do not seek, but I have seen
I do not pray, but I have recited
I do not long, but I have acquired
These are the lies of my soul
These are the lies which lie within
I am a creature of distaste
As much as one of habitual sin
It is not only in trust I beckon
It is not only in fault I repent
When I was unaware
You a friend
When I was weary in my own tent
You never departed
And you sent

The Holy Host
The host of hosts
The ghost of the most
The genius within
Lies not within my sight
Lies not within my words
Lies not within my gatherings
For you are Light
For you are the word
For you are communion
The communion of grace
The promise of peace
The host of our hungry souls
