Lyrics
Chorus In the breaking of the bread We have known Him; we have been fed. Jesus the stranger, Jesus the Lord, Be our companion, be our hope. Verse 1 Bread for the journey, strength for our years, Manna of ages of struggle and tears. Cup of salvation, fruit of the land, Bless and receive now, the work of our hands. Verse 2 Bread of the promise, people of hope, Wine of compassion, life for the world. Gathered at table, joined as one body. Sealed in the spirit, sent by the Word. Verse 1 Once I was helpless, sad and confused; Darkness surrounded me, courage removed. And then I saw him by my side. Carry my burden, open my eyes. Verse 2 There is no sorrow, pain or woe, There is no suffering he did not know, He did not waver, he did not bend. He is the victor. he is my friend.
