“What sign can You do?” was what was asked out loud.

It’s the question put to Jesus by the disbelieving crowd.

To ancestors in the desert, manna had been sent.

God sent them food from heaven.  Their hunger He’d prevent.

Jesus had an answer.  And He gave it to them.

Christ could only speak the truth.  He said: Amen, Amen.

The bread came not from Moses.  That is what He said.

The Father, up in Heaven, had given them this bread.

Dear Lord, help us to believe, ever believe in You.

May we turn to You for each need, for each deep yearning too.

May we receive You often. You are the bread of life.

You are the path to our peace, the way out of our strife.

May loved ones be freed from sin.  And turn to You instead.

May they all find You Jesus in the breaking of the bread.

Give them life abundant.  Let them know just why You came.

Help them all to seek the truth, call upon Your Holy Name.

Give them life now Jesus; thou their souls through sin seem dead.

May all find new life in You, Lord, in the breaking of the Bread.

(John 6:30 to 35)
