Breaking Bread Together

 

As it was in the early days,
When His voice still echoed,
And those who’d heard it understood
The truth His words bestowed,
 
Then they would gather lovingly,
Sharing with each other
The words He spoke, the bread they ate,
And grace for one another.
 
Today we try to keep alive
That same breaking of bread,
Though sharing seems a bit harder
With stiff neck and hard head.
 
Too often we tend to aspire
To pride in what we give
Instead of trying to inspire,
To live as we should live.
 
Let us look back and learn from those
Who had much less to share,
But shared it gladly, nonetheless,
Because they felt You there.  
 
Lord, help us share Your Word, Your grace
With loving hearts these days,
For Your Spirit still lives in us.
Let us break bread and praise.
 
Acts 2:46-47
And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.
