Lyrics

After this, Jesus crossed over to the far side of the Sea of Galilee
Also known as the Sea of Tiberias. A huge crowd kept following him
Wherever he went because they saw his miraculous signs as he healed
The sick. Then Jesus climbed a hill and sat down with his disciples
Around him. It was nearly time for the Jewish Passover celebration
Jesus soon saw a huge crowd of people coming to look for him
Turning to Philip, he asked, "Where can we buy bread to feed all
These people?" He was testing Philip, for he already knew what he
Was going to do. Philip replied, "Even if we worked for months, we
Wouldn't have enough money to feed them!" Then Andrew, Simon Peter'
S brother, spoke up. "There's a young boy here with five barley loaves
And two fish. But what good is that with this huge crowd?" "Tell
Everyone to sit down," Jesus said. So they all sat down on the grassy
Slopes. The men alone numbered about five thousand. Then Jesus took
The loaves, gave thanks to God, and distributed them to the people
Afterward he did the same with the fish. And they all ate as much
As they wanted. After everyone was full, Jesus told his disciples
"Now gather the leftovers, so that nothing is wasted." So they picked
Up the pieces and filled twelve baskets with scraps left by the
People who had eaten from the five barley loaves. When the people saw
Him do this miraculous sign, they exclaimed, "Surely he is the
Prophet we have been expecting!" When Jesus saw
That they were ready to force him to be their
King, he slipped away into the hills by himself
That evening Jesus' disciples went down to the shore to wait for him
But as darkness fell and Jesus still hadn't come back, they got
Into the boat and headed across the lake toward Capernaum. Soon a
Gale swept down upon them, and the sea grew very rough. They had
Rowed three or four miles when suddenly they saw Jesus walking on
The water toward the boat. They were terrified, but he called out
To them, "Don't be afraid! I am here!" Then they were eager to let
Him in the boat, and immediately they arrived at their destination
The next day the crowd that had stayed on the far shore saw that the
Disciples had taken the only boat. They realized Jesus had not gone
With them. Several boats from Tiberias landed near the place where
The Lord had blessed the bread and the people had eaten. So when the
Crowd saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they got
Into the boats and went across to Capernaum to look for him. They
Found him on the other side of the lake and asked, "Rabbi, when did
You get here?" Jesus replied, "I tell you the truth, you want to be
With me because I fed you, not because you understood the miraculous
Signs. But don't be so concerned about perishable things like food
Spend your energy seeking the eternal life that the Son of Man can
Give you. For God the Father has given me the seal of his approval."
They replied, "We want to perform God's works too. What should we do?
" Jesus told them, "This is the only work God wants from you: Believe
In the one he has sent." They answered, "Show us a miraculous sign if
You want us to believe in you. What can you do? After all, our
Ancestors ate manna while they journeyed through the wilderness
The Scriptures say Moses gave them bread from heaven to eat." Jesus
Said, "I tell you the truth, Moses didn't give you bread from heaven
My Father did. And now he offers you the true bread from heaven. The
True bread of God is the one who comes down from heaven and gives
Life to the world." "Sir," they said, "give us that bread every day!
" Jesus replied, "I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will
Never be hungry again; whoever believes in me will never be thirsty
But you haven't believed in me, even though you have seen me
However, those the Father has given me will come to me, and I will
Never reject them. For I have come down from heaven to do the will
Of God who sent me, not to do my own will. And this is the will of
God, that I should not lose even one of all those he has given me
But that I should raise them up at the last day. For it is my Father'
S will that all who see his Son and believe in him should have eternal
Life. I will raise them up at the last day." Then the people began to
Murmur in disagreement because he had said, "I am the bread that came
Down from heaven." They said, "Isn't this Jesus, the son of Joseph?
We know his father and mother. How can he say, 'I came down from
Heaven'?" But Jesus replied, "Stop complaining about what I said!
For no one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them to
Me. And at the last day I will raise them up. As it is written in the
Scriptures, 'They will all be taught by God.' Everyone who listens to
The Father and learns from him comes to me. Not that anyone has ever
Seen the Father; only I, who was sent from God, have seen him. I tell
You the truth, anyone who believes has eternal life. Yes, I am the
Bread of life. Your ancestors ate manna in the wilderness, but they
All died. Anyone who eats the bread from heaven, however, will never
Die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Anyone who
Eats this bread will live forever. In this bread, which I will offer
So the world may live, is my flesh." Then the people began arguing
With each other about what he meant. "How can this man give us his
Flesh to eat?" they asked. So Jesus said again, "I tell you the
Truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his
Blood, you cannot have eternal life within you. But anyone who
Eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will
Raise that person at the last day. For my flesh is true food
And my blood is true drink. Anyone who eats my flesh and drinks
My blood remains in me, and I in him. I live because of the living
Father who sent me. In the same way, anyone who feeds on me will
Live because of me. I am the true bread that came down from heaven
Anyone who eats this bread will not die as your ancestors did
Even though they ate the manna, but will live forever." He said
These things while he was teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum
Many of his disciples said, "This is very hard to understand. How
Can anyone accept it?" Jesus was aware that his disciples were
Complaining, so he said to them, "Does this offend you? Then what
Will you think if you see the Son of Man ascend to heaven again?
The Spirit alone gives eternal life; human effort accomplishes
Nothing. And the very words I have spoken to you are spirit and life
But some of you do not believe me." For Jesus knew from the beginning
Which ones didn't believe, and he knew who would betray him. Then
He said, "That is why I said that people can't come to me unless
The Father gives them to me." At this point many of his disciples
Turned away and deserted him. Then Jesus turned to the Twelve and
Asked, "Are you also going to leave?" Simon Peter replied, "Lord
To whom would we go? You have the words that give eternal life. We
Believe, and we know you are the Holy One of God." Then Jesus said
"I chose twelve of you, but one is a devil."
He was speaking of Judas, son of Simon Iscariot
One of the Twelve, who would later betray him
