The Living Bread

"See my servant will succeed;He will be exalted and highly praised....So will nations be astounded, kings will stand speechless, for they will see something never told, they will witness something never heard of. " -Isaiah 52:13,15

Even the strongest winds are silenced,
To hearken his words,
A voice is shouting at the desert,
"Make a straight path for the Lord."

Be free of fears and harrowing distress,
Let go of shame and pride;
In Him is mercy and forgiveness,
His grace gushing forth abides.

Jesus, the Living Bread that came down from heaven
The Father's Chosen One, "Listen to Him."
His Precious Blood has saved us from the thwarting burden,
Conquering death and sin.

He fills our hunger and quenches our thirst,
With Him we will lack nothing;
He who has loved us first,
His pure love everlasting.

Arise, O Lord, arise
Let your glorious power shine;
Soothe our emptiness and sighs,
O Radiant King, Divine.
