Lyrics

Break Thou the Bread of Life, dear Lord to me,
as once You broke the loaves beside the sea.
Beyond the sacred page, I seek Thee, Lord;
My spirit waits for Thee, O Living Word.

O send Your spirit, Lord, now unto me
that You may touch my eyes and make me see.
Show me the truth concealed within Your word,
for in Your book revealed, I see You, Lord.

Let us break bread together on our knees.
When I fall on my knees with my face to the rising sun,
Oh, Lord, have mercy on me.
