The Bread of Life Sustains

His body broken and bruised, the bread of life sustains.
Blood poured as an offering for sin; He prepared the way.
Freely forgiven and healed, His blood and body, supply.
Believing in Him who supplies, inheritance given applies.

From heaven above, manna pours forth limitlessly.
Bread from heaven given freely, we walk joyfully.
Blessed abundantly, we savor endlessly to achieve.
Unhindered, we press, consuming to conceive.

Manna from Heaven above, He gave to sustain.
Daily provision given, they journeyed without restraint.
Though disobedient at times, He continually supplied.
Though time in wilderness extended, He nurtured.

Clothing and sandals never wearing out, He supplied.
Purifying poisoned water, He was relentless in compassion.
Water gushing from a rock, thirst satisfied in insolence.
With a cloud by day, fire by night, He led them to inherit.

No need to worry about food or clothing, He provided.
Knowing our needs before asking, He plans ahead.
More valuable than birds, heavenly bread provides.
Faith realized, we believe according to His Word.

Seeking kingdom purposes first, His bread maintains.
Receiving all pertaining to life, bread flows freely.
Bread flowing freely, abundance continually sustains.
Overflowing, we give freely to others in want and need.

Heavenly bread flowing limitlessly, we press heartily.
No longer hindered by unbelief, we engage forcefully.
Armor in place, Satan in check, we charge, instilling.
Zealously leading in passion, we execute fulfilling all.


And Jesus said, "I am the Bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he wo believes in Me shall never thirst.
 — John 6:36—

Review of the book, "Treasures of the Heart."

Ken Birks has written a masterpiece of superb continuity. The majestic flow from Poem to Poem contains powerful prophetic revelation that delights the heart. I was amazed at how the poems were Davidic and musical – They flowed like a delightful streams with heavenly impartations.
