Verse 1
In desert places, You were falling
Heaven’s mercy, daily bread
Not by striving, not by earning
But by every word You said
Still we gather what is given
Still dependent, still in need
For the hunger of the human soul
Finds its life in what You speak
Pre-Chorus
What You give is never ours to keep
Yet always ours to receive
Chorus
You are the Bread of Life
Came down for us
Heaven made flesh and blood
You are the Bread of Life
Broken in love
Given to make us whole
No other source can fill us
No other truth remains
You are the Bread of Life
Our portion that remains
Verse 2 (updated)
Where sacred bread was once withheld
You placed it in the hands of need
Not by merit, not by claim
But given to the ones who came
Your presence is no longer guarded
From the ones who come undone
For grace has crossed what law defended
And invites the weary in
Pre-Chorus
What You give is never ours to keep
Yet always ours to receive
Chorus
You are the Bread of Life…
Verse 3
Born within the house of bread
Laid where the hungry come to eat
Wrapped in flesh, yet fully given
Heaven’s answer to our need
Not a shadow for a moment
But the substance of all things
What was hidden in the manna
Now revealed in You, our King
Bridge 1
You took the bread and You blessed it
You broke it and gave it away
What You spoke became a promise
What You gave became the Way
Your body broken for our healing
Your life poured out for our sin
And every table now stands open
Where we receive Your life within
Bridge 2
You are the portion never empty
The living bread that does not fade
What once was gathered for a moment
Now in You will always stay
No longer searching, no more striving
No other feast could satisfy
In every breaking, in every giving
We receive the Bread of Life
Final Chorus
You are the Bread of Life
Come down for us
Heaven made flesh and blood
You are the Bread of Life
Broken in love
Given to make us whole
Outro
Bread of Life
In every breaking
We come empty
And You sustain
