I AM the Bread Of Life

John 6:35 (NIV) Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.

I AM says the Lord
I AM the Bread of life
I AM the only One who can feed you
The only One who can satisfy your hunger

As the world rushes on
Along its many busy ways
Do you long, do you hunger
For someone to listen, to understand?

As people each day
Are quick to blame and criticize
Do you long, do you hunger
For someone who accepts, without fault?

As the world and its many pressures
Constantly remind, you are not good enough
Do you long, do you hunger
For someone who believes in you, your worth?

I AM says the Lord
I AM the Bread of life
I AM the only One who unconditionally
Loves and accepts you, now and forever

So come away, dear one, says He
Spend time with Me, feed on Me
Through My Word each day, that I may
With My love and My truth, you ever satisfy
