I received the living God,
and my heart is full of joy.

Kneaded long to give you life;
You who will partake of me
Need not ever fear to die." (Refrain)

And my Father longs for you;
So I come to bring you home
To be one with him anew." (Refrain)
3 Jesus said: "I am the Truth;
If you follow close to me,
You will know me in your heart,
And my word shall make you free." (Refrain)
4 Jesus said: "I am the Life
Far from whom no thing can grow,
But receive this living bread,
And my Spirit you shall know." (Refrain)
