Name: Broken Bread
Duration: P00H04M32S
Description: Broken Bread was not the result of trying to write a communion song. I had just received some brutal news about a close friend and my world was turned upside down. I knelt down in front of my couch and wept my “why”. All I kept seeing were the hands of Jesus breaking bread at the table. This broken bread is for my pain and your pain. A Saviour acquainted with our suffering.

lyrics

I am coming to the cross
with all my shame all my loss
I carry my unanswered questions,
wounds this weary world has wrought

At the cross, at the cross

There’s broken bread for broken lives
Your body crushed to bring me life
I drink the cup, the wine, the blood,
Your death has done what I could not

I am coming to the cross
where mercy triumphed, darkness lost,
where justice fell in drops of blood
and sin stained hearts cleansed in the flood

There’s broken bread for broken lives
Your body crushed to bring me life
I drink the cup, the wine, the blood,
You are good, You are enough
