I Am the Bread of Life

Listen to I Am the Bread of Life
I Am the Bread of Life
Sr. Suzanne Toolan RSM

1. I am the Bread of life.
You who come to me shall not hunger;
and who believe in me shall not thirst.
No one can come to me
unless the Father beckons.

Refrain
And I will raise you up,
and I will raise you up,
and I will raise you up on the last day.

2. The bread that I will give
is my flesh for the life of the world,
and if you eat of this bread,
you shall live forever,
you shall live forever.

3. Unless you eat
of the flesh of the Son of Man
and drink of his blood,
and drink of his blood,
you shall not have life within you.

4. I am the Resurrection,
I am the life.
If you believe in me,
even though you die,
you shall live forever.

5. Yes, Lord, we believe
that you are the Christ,
the Son of God,
who has come
into the world.
