Tinapay ng Buhay
Bukas Palad Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Buhay na ganap ang sa ami'y kaloob at pagsasalong walang hanggan
Basbasan ang buhay naming handog
Nawa'y matulad sa pag-aalay mo
Buhay na laan nang lubos
Sa mundong sa pag-ibig ay kapos
Buhay na ganap ang sa ami'y kaloob at pagsasalong walang hanggan
Marapatin sa kapwa maging tinapay kagalakan sa nalulumbay
Katarungan sa naaapi at kanlungan ng bayan mong sawi
Ikaw Hesus ang tinapay ng buhay binasbasan hinati inialay
Buhay na ganap ang sa ami'y kaloob at pagsasalong walang hanggan (buhay na ganap)
At pagsasalong walang hanggan
The song “Tinapay ng Buhay” by Bukas Palad is a beautiful hymn that proclaims Jesus as the sustenance and source of eternal life for all. The lyrics reflect on the breaking of bread in the Last Supper, where Jesus himself declared that the bread was his body, broken for the salvation of mankind. The first verse of the song speaks of Jesus as the bread of life, blessed and shared among all. The line "binasbasan hinati inialay" refers to the act of blessing and breaking the bread in preparation for sharing it with others. The second line "Buhay na ganap ang sa ami'y kaloob" speaks of the abundance of life that is given to us when we partake of Jesus’ sacrifice. In the breaking of bread, we receive the fullness of life and are invited to participate in the act of surrender and sharing.
The second verse of the song calls for us to offer our lives as a sacrifice, just as Jesus did. It echoes the words of Paul in his letter to the Romans that we are called to be a “living sacrifice” (Romans 12:1), offering ourselves fully to God’s plan and purpose for our lives. The line "Sa mundong sa pag-ibig ay kapos" speaks of the world’s need for selfless love, which can only be given if we first surrender our lives to God. The chorus repeats the declaration that Jesus is the bread of life, given for us completely, and offers the promise of eternal communion with him.
Overall, the lyrics of “Tinapay ng Buhay” remind us of the sacredness and power of the breaking of bread, not just as a physical act but as a symbol of the ultimate sacrifice made by Jesus for our salvation. It calls us to follow his example by offering our lives as a living sacrifice, and to share ourselves and our resources with others in a world where love and compassion are often in short supply.

May we become bread for others, bringing joy to the sorrowful
Katarungan sa naaapi at kanlungan ng bayan mong sawi
Justice for the oppressed, and refuge for your wounded nation
At pagsasalong walang hanggan
And the eternal communion

You, Jesus, are the Bread of Life
Blessed, divided and offered
A full life you gift us
And sharing that never ends
Bless our life offering
May it be like your offering
Life that's fully devoted
To a world where love is lacking
You, Jesus, are the Bread of Life
Blessed, divided and offered
A full life you gift us
And sharing that never ends
Make us worthy to be bread to our fellowmen
Joy to the depressed
Justice to the oppressed
And refuge to your unfortunate people
You, Jesus, are the Bread of Life
Blessed, divided and offered
A full life you gift us
And sharing that never ends
And sharing that never ends

I hope that they will also allow it to be downloaded offline as listening to it really brings relief and peace especially in times of trouble, stress, problems,etc. I really want to listen to this song every now and then as I am always stressed in everyday life but since it cannot be downloaded offline, I can only listen when I have load data.. I do not have ready load always as I need to budget spending money esp during these times
