Lyrics
Chorus:Bread of heaven Jesus it's you.
Show us the way, make us all like you.
1. No the earth is no longer cold as it was
You have remained with us.
Feeding us with yourself
And to inflame our bread of life with your love
All of humanity.
2. Yes, heaven is here, here on earth.
You have remained with us.
Yet you take us with you
Into your home
Where together we will live
For all eternity.
3. No! death can no longer make us afraid.
You have remained with us.
And who lives in you
Lives forever!
You're God in us, You're God for us,
God among us all.
