Here’s the background to this song.  On my kitchen table I have a pamphlet that has on the inside a list of benefits of Eucharistic Adoration.  Here’s the list:  Everyone on earth is graced.  Souls who are about to die and on the precipice of going to hell are influenced to have a conversion of heart in order to go to heaven instead.  Men and women are influenced to enter religious life.  Families are brought closer together.  Evils of the world are repaired or atoned for.  The floodgates of God’s mercy are opened.  It helps to convert America and save the world.  And it helps to prevent abortions.  On the back side of the pamphlet are the words of Jesus to St. Padre Pio in 1923: “They leave me alone by day, they leave me alone by night.  No one comes to see their Divine Prisoner in the Tabernacle.  I am abandoned in the Eucharist.”   In this song I substituted the words “bedroom window” (four syllables) for the word “tabernacle”.  I figured that most people don’t even know what a tabernacle is and have an anti-religious bias, so that is why I used the metaphor of a window.   On the front side of the pamphlet is a picture of the Blessed Sacrament held in a monstrance, the monstrance that holds the Eucharistic miracle of Lanciano, Italy from 750 AD.  The consecrated host had turned to flesh and blood.  Above the monstrance are the words, “I wait for you always.  Come and see me, I am here…”  These are the words from which this song was inspired.  They tell us that Jesus likes our company and that He wants us to go visit Him.  For those of you who do not believe that a consecrated host is truly the body, blood, soul, and divinity of Jesus or think that His presence might only be spiritual, metaphorical or symbolic, check out this article which proves otherwise.  The Science of Recent Eucharistic Miracles: A Message from Heaven? (ascensionpress.com).  Also see The Eucharistic Miracles of the World, a catalogue of miracles compiled by Carlos Acutis, which also  proves otherwise.
