Bread of Life
by Paul Purdayhttps://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/PaulPurdayPaintings?ref=seller-platform-mcnav
We all (or most) need bread to live
For it is always there to give
A basic table-top display
That's mainly there, for everyday
So stable and affirmative.
For Jesus is our constant need
The One on whom we all must feed
That satisfies us to the brim
It always ever must be Him
No other Person would we heed.
The corn must be cut down by men
And ground into fine flour then
His pure humanity to show
Perfection of His life to know
Praise Him, again and yet again.
Into the oven's burning fire
The bread of life soon rises higher
So like the Living Bread who knew
The fire that only was our due
Yet clothes us with His new attire.
To feed on Him eternally
From earth's resource forever free
Because of Him, the Living Bread
The feast of heaven is ahead
Filled to the full with Him to be.
To be forever satisfied
Our eating will be amplified
Unlike the morsels of the earth
We feed on His eternal worth
Where Grace of heaven is supplied.
