Lawrence Oyor's 'Living Bread Living Water' is a worship song that expresses total dependence on Jesus, referred to as the living bread and living water. The lyrics emphasize that nothing else—science, governments, or human efforts—can sustain life like Christ. The song reflects on the insufficiency of worldly systems and the necessity of God, especially in times of crisis. It carries a theme of surrender and devotion, declaring Jesus as the singer's obsession and only addiction. The repeated question 'What can we do without You?' underscores the central message of reliance on God for spiritual and physical sustenance.

Living bread, living water 

What can we do without You 

Living bread, living water 

What can we do without You 

Living bread, living water 

What can we do without You 


You are my obsession

My only addiction 

Living bread, living water 

What can we do without You


Living bread, living water 

What can we do without You 

Living bread, living water 

What can we do without You 

Living bread, living water 

What can we do without You 


You are my obsession

My only addiction 

Living bread, living water 

What can we do without You 


I've done calculations 

It doesn't pay to leave You 

Living bread, living water 

What can we do without You


Science is failing now 

It doesn't pay to leave You 

Governments are failing now 

Presidents crying now 

It doesn't pay to leave You 

Nations crumbling oh 

It doesn't pay to leave You 

Sickness is everywhere  

People are dying oh 

It doesn't pay to leave You 


Living bread, living water 

What are we now without You 

You are my obsession

My only addiction 

Living bread, living water 

What can we do without You
