I am the Bread of Life Lyrics

1. I am the bread of life,

Not as that bread of old,

Your fathers manna ate,

They ate and they are dead,

This is the bread from heaven,

Who eats it shall not die.

I am the living bread,

The true bread from above.

2. The bread that I will give.

Shall be my living flesh

My flesh which I will give

In death for all the world,

In truth I say to you

Unless you eat my flesh

Unless you drink my blood

You shall not have life in you.

3. Whoever eats my flesh,

Whoever drinks my blood,

Has everlasting life,

And I will raise him up,

My flesh is food indeed,

My blood is drink indeed

Who eats and drinks of me.

Dwells in me and I in him.

4. His Son who live by Him,

The living Father sent,

So he who eats of me,

Shall live by my own life,

From heaven bread came down

Your fathers ate and died

This bread that I will give,

Eat and forever live.
