Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In a lonely place Jesus saw the crowd,
Hungry hearts and voices loud.
Disciples spoke of making the crowd retreat,
But the Lord said, “You give them something to eat.”
Hands were empty, hope was thin,
Yet He stood where mercy would begin.
[Chorus]
Bread from heaven, broken for us,
By His hand, we rise and trust.
He gives, we eat, our spirits filled,
Twelve baskets full, His grace revealed.
Bread from heaven, glory shine,
Jesus, Bread of Life divine.
[Verse 2]
A boy with barley loaves and two small fish,
A simple gift placed in the Savior’s dish.
He took the little, lifted eyes above,
Gave thanks in faith, the bread of love.
From that handful heaven’s plenty poured,
A whisper of the covenant restored.
[Chorus]
Bread from heaven, broken for us,
By His hand, we rise and trust.
He gives, we eat, our spirits filled,
Twelve baskets full — His grace revealed.
Bread from heaven, glory shine,
Jesus, Bread of Life divine.
[Verse 3]
He broke, He blessed, the servants shared,
Fed the five thousand who had come there.
Every mouth was eased, every hunger stayed,
Test of power in the light displayed.
Like Moses led through desert sand,
The New Israel held in His hand.
[Chorus]
Bread from heaven, broken for us,
By His hand, we rise and trust.
He gives, we eat, our spirits filled,
Twelve baskets full — His grace revealed.
[Verse 4]
Bread from heaven, calling Him Messiah,
Healer of hearts, kindling holy fire.
From fragments true abundance springs,
Foreshadowing the feast of kings.
In the breaking we remember still
The cup, the bread, the covenant’s will.
[Chorus]
Bread from heaven,
Bread from heaven.
[Outro]
When our little offering meets His grace,
Scarcity yields to a saving embrace.
Teach our hands to give, our hearts to believe,
That in the least His wonders we receive.
So we gather round, with thanks we raise
One voice of awe, one song of praise.
