Lyrics
Bread of Life
Lyrics by Peter Merz and Mark E. Ellis
Music by Mark E. Ellis
Go ahead and hate me and laugh at me.
Beat me and nail me to your tree.
My love for you is still the same
So I’ll take all your shame on me.
Go cast your lots, I'll be the broken bread,
I'll be the smitten rock, then I'll rise up from the dead.
I am the bread of life, broken bread, poured out wine.
Come taste the Bread of Life. Come taste Love Divine.
Go ahead and mock me and doubt me
Still there’s forgiveness in my eyes
Crown me with thorns, scourge me, abuse me
For you I will gladly die.
Go cast your lots, I'll be the broken bread,
I'll be the smitten rock, then I'll rise up from the dead.
I am the bread of life, broken bread, poured out wine.
Come taste the Bread of Life. Come taste Love Divine.
I can save you from the kingdom of night,
For I am the lamb, blessed by God's heavenly light.
Go ahead and curse me, deny me,
I’m a willing sacrifice for you.
It's been ordained that you'll crucify me.
I must die to make you new.
Go cast your lots, I'll be the broken bread,
I'll be the smitten rock, then I'll rise up from the dead.
I am the bread of life, broken bread, poured out wine.
Come taste the Bread of Life. Come taste Love Divine
