Christ is spoken and seen and heard.

Jesus lives again, earth can breathe again,
pass the Word around: loaves abound!
Jesus lives again, earth can breathe again,
pass the Word around: loaves abound!
2 Christ is able to make us one;
at the table he sets the tone,
teaching people to live to bless,
love in word and in deed express. [Refrain]

bearing fruit in a world of doubt,
gives us love to tell, bread to share:
God (Emmanuel) everywhere! [Refrain] Topics: Children and Youth Communion; Discipleship; Easter / Eastertide; Jesus Christ Unity in; Life; Love; Mission; Recessionals; Sacraments and Ordinances Communion; Servant / Service; Unity Languages: English Tune Title: LINSTEAD
