My life is broken like this bread
And I can feel your wounds in me
I hunger for the words you said
Come and eat and be set free
Come and eat and be set free
I come before you wounded king
Marked by the sins I cannot hide
I come without an offering
I take and eat and swallow life
I take and eat and swallow life
My hope Your death My life your breath
My pain your cost My gain your cross
I know I have no right to come
But you speak love into my shame
Your words of life restore my soul
And I will never be the same
And I will never be the same
Come and eat and be set free (x2)
