None better than You to counsel mankind
for You opened the eyes of those born blind
You assembled us with such tender care
and You reached out to us Your love to share.

Today... 'Bread
Manna of Heaven coming from God
walked with us and earths pathways trod.
Come let's taste and see that the Lord is good
and not just settle for plain earthly food
There is Bread that God to mankind did give
So that we might all eat of it and live.
The Body of Christ is that Bread given
The Bread of Life that came down from heaven.
This Bread was stricken and smitten of God
when up the hill of Calvary He trod.
He was wounded and broken there for me
bore the price of sin that I might go free.
I've been to communion with You Lord
Broke the Bread in accordance with Your Word.
No bread of earth tasted so sweet and fair
as the bread I broke supping with You there
Such a feast was set by God before men
sweet Bread and wine laid upon the table then.
Bread broken for iniquities of mine
and into the cup poured the blood red wine
As I broke the bread Lord, I heard You say
'This is my body broken for you that day.'
Then I closed my eyes and I saw You Lord
hanging for me upon the cross of wood.
I heard You cry in pain and agony
Shout 'My God why have you forsaken me.'
Then 'Father forgive them ', I heard You say
for those that drove the nails in deep that day.
Your body bearing the sins of mankind
was wounded for these transgressions of mine.
Bowing Your head becoming Broken Bread
as You bore the wrath of God in my stead.
Broken for me was that Heavenly Bread
for my sins You suffered and You bled.
Wondrous love has been shown my God to me
for I'm saved by Your death at Calvary.
Praise God for the Bread that came from Heaven.
Praise God for the life that He has given.
Grace and mercy He lavished upon me
when the Bread was broken upon that tree.

Climbing the steep hill, rough pathways He trod.

saving me from danger and all harm.
Held securely in the arms of the Lord

secure in the promises of His word.

Today... 'The Branch
There is a tree that grows so strong and true
Branching out to reach both Gentile and Jew
Growing up through king David's royal line
Reaching out to all from God, The Divine
With arms stretching out to the world in love
Protecting from the wrath of God above
The consequences of our sinfulness
were hung upon the Branch in His distress
When in one day upon a wooden cross
He paid the price for Adam's sinful loss
As He triumphed 'It is finished' He cried
Then He laid down His life for me and died
Majestically enthroned there in heaven
Bringing harmony between God and men
This great Pride and Glory of all Israel
will build the new temple and shall prevail
There are seven eyes upon that one stone
And He reigns as a Priest upon His throne
Clothed with majesty He will sit and rule
All of the earth becoming His footstool
