Hard to Hear

"Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to Me shall never hunger, and he that believeth on Me shall never thirst.... Many therefore of His disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?" (John 6:35,60).

Jesus Christ, the Bread of Life,
Will satisfy the soul,
Will calm the storm of inner strife,
And cleanse and make us whole.

In spite of all these blessings shown,
It's hard for some to hear it.
The Father clearly made Him known,
As did the Holy Spirit.

Indeed, unless we're taught of God
These truths will not make sense.
The natural mind will count them odd,
Despite the evidence.

Savior, Teacher, Lord of all,
You came to us in love,
As manna once before did fall
From heaven's store above.

Thank You, Lord, for open eyes
To see and understand:
You are the Bread that satisfies
As in a desert land!
