Not By Bread Alone

Thu, 04/27/2017 - 14:25 -- 1SP

In life, I thought I had everything,
The answers of the heart were lost;
I idolized the women of my dream,
But Christ had paid the ultimate cost.

 

Not by bread alone,
Shall I live a life again…

 

I manipulated other as well as myself,
The child of a King behaved so immorally;
Putting the fear of God second to all else,
I started to talk of Him without any loyalty.

 

Not by bread alone,
Shall I speak of life within…

 

Man cannot live by bread alone,
We need the true bread of life;
The world was saved by our own
Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ.

 

So I will not do it,
By not bread alone…

 

I have stolen from the holy storehouse,
By not bothering to even tithe in truth;
Cheerful giving is the least man endows
For complete salvation in living proof.
 

Not by bread alone,
Shall I eat once more…

 

Hatred I felt for my own brothers,
As I slowly learned really to absolve;
Jesus manifested genuinely to others
Unanimity is how Christians evolved.
 

Not by bread alone,
Shall I be like before…

 

Man cannot live by bread alone,
We need the true bread of life;
The world was saved by our own
Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ.

 

So I will not do it,
By not bread alone…
