Reborn
Today I am reborn,
I who have crucified you;
yes, your hands, nailed down,
Lift me up to joy.
My dusty, ashy body:
You embalm it, make it one;
You, whom I let wither.
Still from the silent grave
You appeal the peace in me.

I am absorbed in You,
You are consumed in me.
Now I may have my eyes on You,
now my pain has turned.

II
Perfectly broken Son of man,
purely crushed flesh and blood,
unblemished suffering heart:
that’s where I am embedded in.
III
Your longing for the Father,
Your pain and Your love
are concentrated in
this small piece of bread.
I don’t touch it, Lord,
I only look.
That’s how I keep the hunger,
that’s how I keep the hope.
