The Giver of Life

[Continuing the hymn-for-Sundays series]

Christ Jesus said, Seek out,
pursue food that sustains
which does not spoil, endures:
so heed his wondrous claims:
    ‘I am the bread of life’, he said,
    for I give life to souls now dead –
    eternal life, your souls refreshed and fed.

The barren heart revived
for by the Spirit drenched:
fruit grows, life’s Source made known,
soul’s hunger, thirst is quenched.
    ‘I am the bread of life’, he said,
    for I give life to souls now dead –
    eternal life, your souls refreshed and fed.

[see John 6:35 etc]

Tune: 6666 8810 eg ‘Gospel grace’ by J McGranahan
