Feed Me, Lord

"One does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord."Deuteronomy 8:3

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."John 6:35

Feed Me, Lord

Feed me, Lord.

I'm hungry, and I need food for strength. I need food to live. 

Give me this day my daily bread, please.

I'm not talking about food for my body, though you do provide me with an abundance of that (thank you very much).

What I seek today is food for my soul.
Because I cannot live on bread alone.
What I need is food that endures to eternal life.

I need the bread of life.
I need your word.
I need the Living Word.

I'm hungry, Lord. Feed me with your word.
I need your word, stored up in my heart,
that I might not sin against you.
I need your word to be a lamp for my feet,
a light on my path.
I'm hungry, Lord. Feed me with your word.

I need food that endures to eternal life.
I need the bread of life.
Nourish me, strengthen me, O Jesus.
Fill my heart with you.
Feed my heart with you.

Give me today my daily bread, please.
Feed me, Lord.
