Pat Barrett and Kari Jobe's song 'Daily Bread' is a worship anthem about relying on God for daily provision and seeking His presence above all else. The lyrics draw from the biblical story of manna in the wilderness, portraying God as the sustainer who meets us in our grumbling and gives us our portion. The song emphasizes the importance of seeking God's face before His hand, desiring Him more than the Promised Land. It also echoes Psalm 73, declaring that it is good to draw near to God and trust in Him. The overall message is one of dependence, surrender, and intimate relationship with God.

Waking up to manna
Coming to my senses
You meet me in my grumbling
You give me my portion
Though flesh and heart may fail me
Your strength is there to hold me
Keeping my heart steady
You are my portion
You are my portion
You are our daily bread, You are our daily bread
And we will seek Your face before we seek Your hand
You are our daily bread, You are our daily bread
And we desire You before the Promised Land
Whom have I in Heaven?
There is none upon Earth
There is none beside You
You give me my portion
My envy of the boastful
Lead me to confusion
Until I realized Jesus
That You are my portion (You are my portion)
You are my portion (You are my portion)
You are our daily bread, You are our daily bread
And we will seek Your face before we seek Your hand
You are our daily bread, You are our daily bread
And we desire You before the Promised Land
You are our daily bread, You are our daily bread
And we will seek Your face before we seek Your hand
You are our daily bread, You are our daily bread
And we desire You before the Promised Land
It is good for me to draw near my God
It is good for me to trust in my God
It is good for me to draw near my God
It is good for me to trust in my God
It is good for me to declare all His works
It is good for me, You are good for me
It is good for me to draw near my God
It is good for me to trust in my God
It is good for me to declare all His works
It is good for me, You are good for me
It is good for me to draw near my God
It is good for me to trust in my God
It is good for me to declare all His works
It is good for me, You are good for me
You are our daily bread, You are our daily bread
And we will seek Your face before we seek Your hand
You are our daily bread, You are our daily bread
And we desire You before the Promised Land
It is good for me to draw near my God
It is good for me to trust in my God
It is good for me to declare all His works
It is good for me, You are good for me
It is good for me to draw near my God
It is good for me to trust in my God
It is good for me to declare all His works
It is good for me, You are good for me
Oh, You're so good
I draw on You, Jesus
I draw near to You, Jesus
You always meet me here
You always meet me here
And I love You
I love You
