I AM The Bread Of Life - Part 1

orchidee



Tune: Rosefield

('Bread of heaven on thee we feed')

John 6 v.35-40

**********

I am the bread of life, true

Jesus says to us anew

They that come to Him shall ne'er

Hunger, His supply is there

For us to feed on, receive

Trusting in Him we believe

 

And they that believe they shall

Never thirst, for He a well

At which they may quench their thirst

Turn to Him in your need first

But He said unto those there

They not belive, not life share

 

All that Father to Hom gives

Shall come to Him, they shall live

They that come to Him He will

Welcome, bear to them no ill

Shall in no wise cast them out

Shall accept them, there no doubt

 

For He came down from heaven

Not to do His own will then

But the will of His Father

Who had sent Him that rather

Did He choose and did obey

Brought to us salvation's day

 

What will this be? That of all

The Father gives, they not fall

Father gives them to the Son

They not be lost, not e'en one

But be raised up at last day

So Secure and saved alway

 

And too Father's will it be

That every one which does see

The Son, and on Him believes

May e'erlasting life receive

And be raised up at last day

So it be in God's good way

  • Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 7.7.7.7.7.7. metre. I am hoping to do a series on Jesus' 'I AM' statements in John's Gospel. Maybe an 'occasional series'.

    Whatever the bread of life
    white or seeded or brown
    I am merely the crust
    but please don't spread it around.

      Thanks M. lol. Which bread does Miss Berles prefer?

    • AwHec8

      Every time I read your writes orchidee the reading is the meat and the music is the dessert.
      I have to say that the music along with them is especially right on. Don

        You're some crusty bread for sure Orchidee. Watch out, the devil's got his toasting fork ready.

        Is there any crumpet?

        • orchidee

          Good write Orchi, but that bread was not there for me when Joyce was taken from me.

            Thanks Gold. Yes, we can question it, when we read or write 'always in supply', etc - then it seems to fail when we are don't appear to be 'fed and watered'.
