I want 2 eat her flesh, drink her blood (John 6)


John 6:34 "Sir," they said, "from now on give us this bread." -
[YALL KNOW WHICH GIRL IM REFERING TO (hint: lisa)][her flesh is my bread her blood is my drink]

She has already fed five thousand
Of my deepest desires
With her five barley loaves of beauty
And small fish of meekness
I saw her at Covenant Life Church one day
I swear she was walking on waters of
My most treasured fantasy
Her voice steadied the winds
Immediately I fell in love
My small boat of hope reached the shore of destiny
ineluctable
(so large, so vast, so expansive)

She told me:
No one can come to me unless her God draws
She is my life in her I shall never die
Her smooth skin, her infectious smile
A yearning soul militant for righteousness
Her long black hair like silk – Lord have mercy
Before I met her,
I tossed myself in fire
Before I met her
I tossed myself in water
Never knowing true happiness
I was Hades – resident of disdain

I want to drink her blood
Like wine in a jewel encrusted cup
Down my cheeks pouring
And eat her flesh like manna from
Love itself, rain falling clouds in blue skies above me
Her kiss is Paradise
Her Spirit imparts life
I want her inside me as my own body decays
After I met her I knew deep down
I would no longer be thirsty
I would no longer be hungry
(For she is eternal)

(Please Lord, let us get married! Please)

"Formerly there was baptism in an obscure way . . . now, however, in full view, there is regeneration in water and in the Holy Spirit. Formerly, in an obscure way, there was manna for food; now, however, in full view, there is the true food, the flesh of the Word of God, as he himself says: 'My flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink' [John 6:55]" (Homilies on Numbers 7:2 [A.D. 248]). – Origen

(John 6:53-56)
Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him."

(John 6:50-51)
But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which a man may eat and not die. "I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world."
