In the Breaking of the Bread

Three days gone, alone, we wander,
Have you seen our Lord?
We had hoped he would redeem us,
Him who we adored.

REFRAIN
How our hearts have burned within us
every time the Word is read;
Now we recognize the Savior
in the breaking of the bread.

All at once our eyes are opened,
Suddenly we see,
In the bread and wine and water
Christ for you and me.

REFRAIN

Jesus comes and stands among us
greeting us with peace.
Take him in your hands and hold him,
Touch him now and see.

REFRAIN

Not for bread alone we hunger,
Yet for every word;
When that peace and life is spoken
Jesus' voice is heard.

REFRAIN
