BREAD ALONE
1. “Man will not live on bread alone but will proceed by a word of God.”
Bread alone will not save me from death
I will live on bread
I will live to work
I will then live to laugh
I will live to sleep
I would also live to smile
I would live to be a father
I would also live to have a family
I would be able to live because God has granted me life
Who has granted me life?
God is greater than bread
I would live to fight
I would live to seek peace
Bread alone can’t give life
You will be satisfied once you have feasted on bread
Life is granted by a word of God
I have life to be able to live
I will live to be a servant
The word came first before the bread
How could anyone bake bread without the word?
The word is life
Man has chosen bread
He has rejected God
- Man prefers bread
He has put his trust in bread
Man depends on bread
Eating bread is a delusion and a lie
“ I am bread.”
Man strives for bread and suffers
You will never suffer if you eat bread
Bread has taken over the earth
Man loves his bread
I am spread in shop windows
Man craves for me
I have reconciled lovers
I have built towns and cities
I have workmen and women
I look out for gains and profit
I hate losses
I am greedy and selfish
Leaders have endeared to me
Many people mourn after me
They control and possess me
I have lived for a long time
I am a jewel in the crown
I am tested and tried from generation to generation
Yet I have never died
They have sowed and harvested
- I am gentle and humble
I have travelled far and wide
Crossing borders from nations to nations
I was part of creation
Man will not depend on the Knowledge of good and evil
Life needs knowledge and man will strive
Knowledge needs all life
Even a good man has life
Both good and evil have life given by God
