Breaking bread
Breaking bread
where ever three or more are gathered in the name
there is love
Come and join our circle and break this bread
of sacrament
for those who hunger for more than food
come and share this bread
In the beginning there was the word
and if these words are all I have
then I give them freely
take these words so they may heal you
and this world I live in
From the heart that is the well of life
for those who thirst
and need replenishing
drink and be replenished
I give my heart to you
for all I have I give to you
so you can give so too
as for in the beginning as in the end
All there is, is love
there is love
this I know is true
that in this world there is love
for you and I to share
