The Bread Has Been Broken
The Zoe Group Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Taste what forgiveness is for
His mercy will lead us, the grace of God feed us
Making us hungry for more
His body was given for you and for me
Look on the cross and beleive
Our eyes have been opened
Oh come Lord restore and renew
The word has been spoken
So humbled and broken
We eat it all in rememberance of you
The bread has been broken and all those who know him
Beleive without touching the scar
His death reconciled us
We live sanctified to become what we already are
To him that loves us and freed us to love
The glory and honor and praise
The bread has been broken
Our eyes have been opened
Oh come lord restore and renew
The word has been spoken
So humbled and broken
We do all in rememberance of you
The bread has been broken
Our eyes have been opened
Oh come lord restore and renew
Your word has been spoken
So humbled and broken
We do all in rememberance of you
The bread has been broken
