How it must have felt
Devouring of the sacred flesh
Composed of purity

Mangled in pity
From a wretched committee
Corpus Christi

Stripped down, naked and bare
Vision gory
Revealing the glory

Completing the story
momento mori
Nails piercing the skin

Veins were spewing
Body bruising
Eyes were viewing

Severely accusing
Coarsened He died for sin
Loudly weeping

Death was creeping
It s final reaping
For our safe keeping

Skin stripped away
The ultimate price was paid
On that fateful day

Skin stripped away
Stripped down, naked and bare
Where they gathered to stare

Skin stripped away
The price we all should have paid
