Jesus said – I am the bread of life
Whoever comes to me will never be hungry
Whoever believes in me will never be thirsty
(You have seen me, and yet do not believe)
Whoever comes to me will never be hungry
Whoever believes in me will never be thirsty
(You have seen me, and yet do not believe)
Anyone who comes to me I will never drive away
This is indeed the will of my father, that all who see the son and believe in him may have eternal life; and I will raise them up on the last day.
(Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life
For my flesh is true food and my blood is true drink
Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood abide in me, and I in them.)
For my flesh is true food and my blood is true drink
Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood abide in me, and I in them.)
Jesus says, I am all that you need.
Jesus now lead us on

Let justice roll down like waters;
on those who are thirsty;
on those who are hungry;
on those who work to pay off debts which are not their own;
on those enslaved by poverty and need.
