The Giver of Life

Christ Jesus said, Seek out,
pursue food that sustains
which does not spoil, endures:
so heed his wondrous claims:
  ‘I am the bread of life’, he said,
  for I give life to souls now dead –
  eternal life, your souls refreshed and fed.

The barren heart revived
for by the Spirit drenched:
fruit grows, life’s Source made known,
soul’s hunger, thirst is quenched.
  ‘I am the bread of life’, he said,
  for I give life to souls now dead –
  eternal life, your souls refreshed and fed.

(see John 6:35 etc)
