The True Bread

The True Bread

You Jesus are the true Bread the true Food

From our Heavenly Father oh so good

It is in the Eucharist that we receive

Your true Blood and Body that we believe

That without which we will not obtain

That special reward offered to live with You eternally in Heaven

Yes we have daily earthen bread to eat

Like the manna You gave to the Israelites in the desert on which to feast

So easy was it for them to obtain

no need to exert no effort no pain

But that only sustained them physically

What You now offer feeds us spiritually

Let me please receive you in this Bread of Life

Let me always remember that without it I will receive an eternity of strife

For You are truly O Lord Jesus

The Bread of Life Eternal

For on that Cross you died for us

So that our life could be meaningful

Provided we always trust in You and believe

That in all trouble and anxiety it is to You we must and can always cleave

Amen
