Lyrics
The lyrics are copyright so cannot be reproduced here. But they are currently available on this website. A rough outline is:Chorus:
Bread for the world: a world of hunger.
Wine for all peoples: people who thirst.
May we who eat be bread for others.
May we who drink pour out our love.
1. Lord Jesus Christ, you are the bread of life ...
2. Lord Jesus Christ, you are the wine of peace ...
3. Lord Jesus Christ, you call us to your feast ...
