Lyrics

Refrain
Like the bread, we are taken.
Like the Christ, we are blessed.
On this altar we are broken,
giv'n as food that all might live,
giv'n as food that all might live.

1. How quickly we reject ourselves,
blinded from our call.
We resign to live in fear
of love, of self, of all.
This is not the will of God,
for the chosen must be free.
We are taken by the love of Christ
to live eternally.

2. Broken like the bread of life,
we often flee from pain.
We resign to live our lives,
not knowing death's true gain.
This is not the will of God,
for in dying we will live.
The cross, a sign of victory
and of the healing it will give.

Bridge
Some say it is good to have,
but the faithful learn to give.
Like the saints of old
who lived prepared,
we become like Christ—
to feed, to share.
