Poem for John 6:41-51

11^th Sunday After Pentecost

John 6:41-51

We ate from the manna

Provided

For all to eat

When the people were in need

And were filled.

We were given the land

And the knowledge

To make our people Great

And were filled.

We were given the word

Sustaining us

Through time of hardship

Forgotten too often

Through times of prosperity

It added a richness

--to our lives

a wholeness

without which

--we would not exist

and we were filled.

We hunger Lord

For the living Bread

That will sustain us

Through hardship and prosperity,

We long to come to You O Lord

Drawn by

The love that has been

And the love that lives now

Eternal

And to be filled
