Kibroth Hattaavah

by Jason Vanderlaan

The Lord has given us manna of love,

Holy Bread, come down from above

In the form of Christ Jesus, His Son

And His Word, given for everyone.

But foolishly we craved other things

And saw the destruction sin brings.

We filled ourselves with all they gave.

Then we, too, went down to fill a grave.

For we desired what was not bread.

But got dust and emptiness instead.

And though we ate it up with greed

We found it did not satisfy our need.

So we shall lie in our graves of craving

Unless we go to the One who is saving.

He alone can raise us from the dead

With His wonderful life-giving Bread.
