'I am the Living Bread.'
'Eat of me and live', He said
'Manna from heaven on high
only Christ can fully satisfy.'

'Come to Me to believe
and everlasting life receive.'
'Hunger and thirst no more
and be satisfied for evermore.'

******

Lord, Your life you have given
and all who eat are forgiven.
Oh may the world taste and see
and never be hungry and thirsty.

For The Heavenly Living Bread
entered the realms of the dead.
Took our sins down to the grave
and rose again with power to save.

You are the Bread of Life, my Lord
I've tasted that the Lord is Good.
Manna come from heaven on high
and nothing but You can satisfy.
