From his hand we were all fed So many of us, beyond our count So many ate, yet from so little A miracle of God without doubt
Again with joy we find Jesus among us Yet the hunger within again does rise Again we seek another great sign Searching for more in his words so wise
Food only he can give we now seek As His words fill our souls and our hearts It is his message of love that feeds us As he teaches of the One with three parts
In his presence is the healing we seek Holy nourishment for our souls In his presence we find true joy In his words peace and we are whole
Yet he speaks now of a new bread Not as manna that was sent from heaven But one which brings eternal life One in which God himself is the leaven
This new bread comes from God This new bread truly is Jesus This new bread brings eternal life And joins us truly to him
Dear Jesus, I long for this holy bread The bread of life Your Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity Eternal food for my soul That I be may be fed by your grace For I know you will remain with me Until the end of days
