David Haas - You Alone Know Our Hunger lyrics

rate me

Refrain: O God, you alone know our hunger.

For you are our life and our bread.

Come now and feed us, renew and receive us.

For we are your people. On you we are fed.

1. Bread for the broken, and wine to be shared.

Your family is gathered, the kingdom is dared.

We hold dear the promise that conquers our death,

and open our hearts to new life from your breath.

2. The gifts at this table are born from the land.

The path of this meal now is led by your hand.

Food for the weary, and bread for the weak,

and wine for the voiceless ones yearning to speak.

3. We come to this banquet to fashion your dream;

the grace of your mercy, the world to redeem.

We work and we labor for your reign to come,

for it is your bread and wine we become.
