Bread Of Life

Citipointe Worship builds "Bread Of Life" around a confession that does not try to clean itself up first: "You have loved me though I have failed You over and over." That admission sets the terms for the whole song, which is less a performance of devotion than a response to love that arrived before any improvement did. Paul states the same order of events in Romans 5:8, that "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." The song does not wait for the singer to become worthy of the title before using it.

The title itself is lifted straight from Jesus' own words in John 6:35, "I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger." Communion imagery runs underneath the lyric, bread and blood offered not as a reward for good behavior but as the actual substance of being fed. What makes the song work is that it keeps naming the failure in the same breath as the love, refusing to separate the two, so that the worship being offered is honest about what it is responding to rather than a polished version of devotion.
