Bread

BREAD God gave the bird a crumb of bread, But gave a loaf to me, So no more would I hunger, I'd be fed for eternity. Although I had my daily bread, Earthly bread was all I knew, Then the bread from Heaven came, To give me life anew. Jesus is this Bread of Life To receive and be made whole. He doesn't give me just a crumb, To satisfy my soul. To eat of this Bread of Life, Is to live forever, said He. You gave the bird a crumb Lord, But you gave a whole loaf to me.
